Pantoja defends the flyweight title against Steve Erceg at UFC 301
Pantoja has won his past five fights, including one successful defense of the flyweight title. During this stretch, he defeated the division’s elite–Brandon Royval on two separate occasions, Alex Perez, and former two-time champ Brandon Moreno.
“I fight for my family, and I fight to represent the entire division,” said Pantoja. “I want to support my division. Flyweights are so much better than people realize. This division deserves the main event.” “Kill or die, that’s how I’m approaching this fight,” said Pantoja. “He is good enough to beat me. He’s going to fight with his heart and soul. But I’m still hungry.”Pantoja made his first title defense in December, defeating Royval by unanimous decision. For the first four rounds, Pantoja simply overwhelmed him. He will look to do the same against Erceg, adding a whole new layer to his reign as champion.
