Erceg: "When I placed an order at KFC, I was offered a fight with Pantoja"

UFC flyweight title challenger Steve Erceg explained how he got the offer to fight division champion Alexandre Pantoja.

"When I placed an order at KFC, I got a call offering me a fight with Pantoja. At this point I was in a difficult position: I had no idea what to do - finish my order or put it aside to start calling my father and coach. In the end, I decided to finish my order from KFC first," said the Australian in an interview with the UFC YouTube channel.

Recall that the fight between Pantoja and Ercega will be the main event of the UFC 301 tournament, which will take place next weekend in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
