Excellent Video Guys. We need this type of information on regional scenes and lesser known fighters like erceg.
Steve did a great interview with Luke Thomas. He’s not as well known but I cant wait for his fight. 👏🏾
Erceg is 28 almost 29 (not 27). He said he finished the rest of his KFC meal. He didn't throw it away.

As soon as they announced Erceg fighting Pantoja my first reaction was "dude I think Erceg is gonna win" without even thinking about it. I don't know why, maybe because I think eventually Pantoja's chin is gonna give out because he loves eating punches? During the Moreno fight I was just expecting him to fall at any point because he doesn't do anything to not get punched. I like Pantoja though I don't know why he gets so much hate, flyweights put on fun fights most of the time

Great piece Max!! Thank you and all of MMAOP for giving us great content on these deserving unfamiliar athletes.
His real name is bedtime mma
The fact they have to do a video like this for a main card fighter is crazy
Should've opened with "What it do"
To answer the question in the title, he is Bedtime MMA.. trust
I didn’t expect this video to have a thirst trap but then you mention Casey and Jess 🥶
Dude.. where have you been this whole time... only lad on this channel that doesn't sound like a causal
This dude is so memeworthy. I hope he wins.

Great vid love the new info gives me a better understanding on where I badge my bets this weekend definitely could be an upset
I still remember seeing Jack and others on a poster in a hungry jack's on a night out in Fremantle. Long time back now.
You hit the nail on the head at the end of the video. If this fight goes to a decision it's gonna be an "And Still" but if Erceg can find himself in an advantageous position after a scramble, or just lay Pantoja flat, we are gonna have a shocking new champ at 125.
What it do bedtime crew, aye our boy is getting recognized big time
Great vid 🤘
Crazy how hes already got a title shot
Oooo I been waiting for this one for my boy💪🏽

I actually respect the UFC for taking a risk in making this matchup. Regardless of namepower Erceg is a fun fighter to watch. And if he wins it will give the division a much-needed shake up

Or don't watch some stupid fucking mma channel broadcast out some dudes bedroom and watch the embedded like the first guy said
It doesn't matter how many times you say "free DLC", that's not what we call finally finishing a game that we already paid for.
Steve Erceg is the guy who installed your AC last year.
As a Brazilian I honestly am not looking forward this PPV, I'm gonna watch it, but you know, not really hyped for it, I like Erceg, great fighter, but I think Pantoja is taking this one, but Erceg is a future champion. Doing this PPV in Rio was such a bad idea, there are many better crowds here than Rio, do it in São Paulo, Curitiba, Belo Horizonte, anywhere but Rio, I hope we don't get another Glover situation.
8 wins in 7 fights is crazy
The thing that sucks is, thisll probably be a fun fight. Its just so unfortunate that this entire card is right after 300. Like you just cant live up to that in any way. Idk just feels liek this fight in particular was shafted from jump. Especially since its flyweight. Its unfortunate becaise Pantoja has been super fun to watch, and Erceg seems super damgerous. I guess we'll just have to see what happens.
Efficiency will be the decicive factor in this fight, if steve weathers pantojas pressure early on he has all the ability to out scramble a tired alexandre on the ground and really good eyes for spotting openings on the feet. Also his striking defense has improved drastically over his last 4 or 5 fights which may help if it goes to the scorecards. Erceg by round 4 arm triangle lock it in TRUST
Good question couple days before his title shot.
Damn coach of the Suns has crisp striking
Bedtime MMA also known as Steve Erceg.
If this guys is an underdog put the money on him
He’s the greatest fighter of all time
His boxing imo is very overstated specifically with how Luke talks about it. I think you’re very generous but fair noting his ability to use his feet very well to exit however he backs straight up - atleast in the ufc fights I watched. I frankly don’t think thats a terrible thing bc of his other undeniable gift which is he’s very good at throwing while still moving and it seems natural watching him do it. Especially backing up. IMO that actually is in his favor . Hes best when measured. Hes almost got a Soviet style footwork without all the technical, important parts haha but he does step out of danger better than most ufc strikers I’ve ever seen. The problem is he is incredible hittable. I’ve watched the max fight a few times start to finish for this bet again the last couple days alone and he’s in trouble if he plays hero ball like that. Thats the difference In the ufc talent striking. You’re 100% right he’s been in wars and he’s got a chin but elite level it’s not just size which you very much know - I know this isnt new stuff - but its selection and accuracy. I’ve not seen Steve genuinely wobble like he did vs max. Granted he wobbled him much worse immediately after. But Steve lost a majority of the pocket exchanges. It was when he had the distance at the edge of boxing range he was looking unbeatable. When max closed up he was CRACKING Steve to that wobble. Not just me saying that, dean Thomas was in the middle of also saying that when Steve shut his lights off from range clean as a whistle. But Pantoja outboxed Moreno. & he loves to mix it up. And Pantoja is the only guy that I wouldn’t wanna hit the floor with if I was Steve. Pretty clear Steve has a very clear path to actually win this. Pantoja had been outpointed multiple times in a similar way. But Steve’s problem is as you stated: he can’t help himself sometimes. And I think he’ll quickly realize he doesn’t wanna know from the pocket with Pantoja. If he can stay at range and not get caught up in a war, Steve actually might be the first to crack that iron chin of Pantoja. But I really don’t trust he’ll be able to avoid an exciting slug fest - that’s his nature and it’s a blessing to us fans as this fight will be a banger but it’ll be devastating for someone and in an all out war there’s simply no way I can’t pick Pantoja. Man I hope I’m wrong though
Great video! Erceg looks really good everywhere; Pantoja in 3

Been a while since a 10 ranked guy got a title shot. I’m pulling for Erceg, but he passed over some good dudes to get this chance. No waste it

Great fighter.good striking
I was watching eternal mma for the last couple years, and Erceg is talented, at least from the regional scene, plus a calm dude, i hope he takes it, but Pantoja is the highest level fight he has ever had, we will have to see🤔
Hard to have an opinion on a guy when we don't really know too much about him. As an Australian myself I am hoping he does well.
I’m actually a fan of 301 tbh, a lot of slept on fights, and I really do think Erceg is going to pull off the upset 💯
I know that you are confused by amount of Views And topics, that is because Steve boi is best analysis in MMA universe and have best fan base.He is BEDTIME MMA 🦅🦅🦅.
I thought he said he finished the chicken lol
Nice wrap up subbed. I think his striking is a level above Pantoja. I'm predicting a ko.
Erceg all way. He doesn't get the respect he deserves, cause he doesn't look like your everyday MMA fighter, but he goes hard.

I'm surprised Alex Pereira wasn't mentioned because he only had 3 unranked UFC fights before getting his title shot. He has made history. It's just worth being on that list of quick runs to a title shot. BTW I Wish EA UFC would utilize all their resources and make much better MMA video games. They are such a huge company. I wish they would utilize the potential that is there with MMA video games and all the resources they have available to them. I'm so tired of the same old same old UFC games..

Steve erceg? You mean the p4p goat of all time?!?!?
Steve shows that you don’t need to load up to get KOs
I can't say if it's too soon for him to make that jump in competition level, but what I can say is that he hasn't earned a title shot. However, no one else really has. Royval had a shot recently, Moreno recently lost the title and then to Royval, Albazi got handed a decision he didn't win against Kara-France, Kara-France has that loss as his last fight and lost to Moreno before that, Mokaev only just made it to the higher rankings, before his last fight this last weekend Perez was on a 3 fight loosing skid that includes the champion and Mokaev, and Nicolau was coming off a loss to Royval. My guess is that they just had to have Pantoja in Brazil no matter what, especially after moving Pereira vs Hill to UFC 300 instead, and Erceg wasn't the first one they called to offer that fight to, but he was the first one to accept it. They probably called Albazi and Mokaev first, maybe even Kape, and for whatever reason they couldn't take the fight, then called Erceg and he was in. He was just at the right place in the right time to answer the call, and If that's what happened then fair enough, sometimes being the only one there to take it is enough to earn it, but I don't think they planned to build this fight.
It’s time for the erceg era
I like the dude commentating
