UFC flyweight title challenger Steve Erceg of Australia expects Brazilian fans to throw bottles at him after he knocked out local champion Alexandre Pantoja.

The clash between these fighters will headline UFC 301, which takes place on the night of May 5 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

"I expect to be thrown bottles after I finish it. This is part of the real experience of performing in Brazil. My goal is to prove to everyone that I'm the best in this division, whether I'm the underdog or the favorite, it doesn't really matter to me," MMA Fighiting quotes Erceg as saying.
