Former UFC featherweight champion Aleksander Volkanovski made a prediction for the upcoming title fight in the lightest division between Alexandre Pantoja and Steve Erceg.
"I'm looking forward to this fight - Erceg is ready to shock the world. I've seen Steve in action, he's ready. It might be hard for people to believe it, but Erceg will successfully pass that test this weekend. I think he'll knock out the champ in the third round.
Pantoja has a risky style, so Steve will probably try to wait out the onslaught. Pantoja throws wild punches at times, so Steve will be able to catch him. Pantoja can counter-strike when he gets forward. Anybody can fall asleep, no matter how hard they hit. I believe in Erceg. He will come out of nowhere and become a champion," - quotes Wolkanowski Fox Sports.
Recall that the Brazilian and the Australian will meet in the main event of UFC 301, which will take place on the night of May 5 in Rio de Janeiro.
