UFC champion in the lightest weight category Brazilian Alesandre Pantoja commented on the announcement of his fight with the tenth number of the division's rating Australian Steve Erceg.

Earlier it became known that the meeting of these fighters will take place on May 4 in the framework of the UFC 301 tournament in Rio de Janeiro.

"I think he's a tougher opponent for me at this point than Brandon Moreno and Brandon Royval. He's a new face in our division and has nothing to lose. But to be fair, I have more fighting experience, I think that will be my advantage in the fight," Sportskeeda quoted Pantoja as saying.

Erceg has had only three fights in the UFC: he defeated David Dvorak and Alessandro Costa on points, and knocked out Matt Schnell
