Steve Erceg

Former dominant UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson spoke out about this past weekend's bout between Alexandre Pantoja and Steve Erceg, and also assessed Muhammad Mokaev's chances in a potential fight with the current division leader.

"Erceg literally gave the fight away trying to fight a guy who doesn't know how to do that. It was a great fight, but I think Erceg gave it to Pantoja.

I thought Pantoja was going to finish him, but Erceg was better in the standup. He did more damage in this fight, but made some bad decisions along the way. If you give Steve Erceg a year or two, I think he'll beat Pantoja. And Muhammad Mokaev can beat Pantoja right now," said the American in his podcast.

Recall, Pantoja defeated Ercega by unanimous decision of judges in the main event of UFC 301 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

I think I need to start working more on my head dodges because I miss too much, but my grappling is the best in the world. And I have the best team in the world. Huge thanks to my coaches," Pantoja said after the fight.

Recall that Pantoja defeated Ercega by unanimous decision of the judges.
