Steve Erceg, TKO, R3
bro erceg's stand up is looking really good and even though this title shot is 100% not deserved and pantoja has an iron chin erceg has some nasty combos and he is improving fast and i think because he is getting this chance he will take advantage of that and could finish him. AND NEW ASTROBOY!!!! pantoja is still so ******* good but i think astroboy has a chance here but he could get subbed. Im going with steve erceg though.

This subpar PPV being so expensive will always be my biggest complaint for the UFC, $70 is a lot of money for 3 hour of entertainment

UFC 301 Card is really good. UFC should rethink the PPV price for events outside the USA.

Michel Pereira who is a show man probably in the most consistent run of his career after moving up to middleweights.
Brito vs. Shore is an interesting fight, Brenner is a battle dog who has had great fights in his UFC run and now he will fight against Orolbai who is a Kyrgi dangerous striker who has very good wrestling since he trains at Team Alpha Male.
Pantoja is the UFC champion with the best chance of cleaning up his division and Erceg put in a very good performance and received the title shot because he was willing to fight soon and because Pantoja has literally already beaten #1 Royval in the past (2 times ), #2 Moreno (3 times), #4 KKF (in TUF), #6 Kape, #8 Alex Perez. Where the future rematch between Nicolau vs. Kape will determine who can be the next challenger.
I understand that perhaps PPV sales may be affected by the lack of big names, but honestly the card is quite solid from my point of view I would only put Rinat vs. Zaleski 2 in the preelims and Josh Emmett vs. Edson Barboza as Co-Main.
