Steve Erceg perhaps just had the biggest fumble in UFC championship history against Alexandre Pantoja right at the end of the fight. Up there with Weidman vs Rockhold and his infamously missed spinning back kick. Two of the judges had it as a tie going into the last round. So no doubt about it, those takedowns cost him the fight.

@@nme_mma really impressive from Erceg, showed potential as a future champion - once he tightens up the grappling and gets some more experience, I see him being a champ but it also depends on the cut. Not sure he can do many more fights at 125, may try to move up and that division has some tricky matchups for him..

That Steve seems like he has a big future in the sport. But if dude lives up to his hype and claims a place at the top of the sport for a good amount of time...I really think he is going to need a cool nickname. Idk how other people feel about it, but I find his name oddly boggling. It just seems like letters shouldn't go together that way. Am I the only one?

Pantoja won this 48-47 and the quantity of takedowns and control where the difference maker. Erceg had some good moments on the feet but he did miss a chunk of his overall strikes and he never hurt Alex. Damage is key but It's accumulative damage and you don't win a round or a fight automatically from a cut. Those 2 cuts came from one strike a piece and they never got significantly worse. Erceg simply did not land enough consistent shots to clearly take the majority of rounds and he spent a good chunk of time on his back and getting his back taken. Let's not pretend that Alex didn't land solid shots on his Blitz's either, he did. So all together Alex simply did more.

It was a robbery, not a blunder. Why do we continue to pretend that the criteria isn't damage based?? Takedowns and control time don't mean anything if you don't do anything with them.

Honestly I don’t agree w damage being the main factor in judging an mma fight. Too many martial arts that are control/position based instead of pure damage. To me personally, it reinforces the sport more towards certain striking arts. To me I believe fights should be judged by how the combatant can implement his gameplan more effectively than his opponent.

Grappling means nothing if you do nothing with it but it means something if your opponent does nothing because of the grappling. Pantoja outlanded him and won the 5th

I don’t really think it’s fair to say Erceg blew it. Pantoja is one of the more dominant champions we have right now. It’s not like Erceg had it completely in the bag. Also, the card on 302 is doodoo except for the main and co-main.

Feel like Erceg won 2, 3 & 4 honestly. It was competitive enough that it doesn't feel like a robbery though (though some of the scoring was a bit wonky).

I really wish they had done a Robbie Lawler send off with Aldo. I feel like it's his last fight in the UFC and to end it with an absolute clinic and then to have a nice send off in Brazil would have been cake.

Erceg shows he has skills just not the HIGHEST fight IQ, obviously his fight IQ is up there because its not like he got ragged on (although i was alittle concerned the first minute of the first round with how pantoja came out the gate on speed 11) This was a huge learning experience for him though and he will be back, the kid is 28. Can't wait to see him at 32 with a shit ton of fights in the ufc. Youi figure if he fights atleast another 2 times per year then thats 8 more fights in the UFC, double of what hes at now.

While the event turned out better than I expected, it was weak for a PPV. The matchmaking had most of the fights as obvious picks. The only real surprise was Anthony Smith pulling off a big win when it was clear that he was there to give Petrino a win over a big name opponent whose career was winding down. And yeah, you could pinpoint the exact decision that cost Erceg the belt. Pantoja had the experience to capitalize on the mistake. Despite the loss, I wouldn't be surprised if Erceg moves up a spot or two in the rankings. He only needs about two good wins to earn another title shot.

I watched the card live from the Bonfim fight on. Petrino was a luttle in the guillotin le then he helped Smith up higher and lifted his chin even so Smith could get that choke in. Not the best night for the up and comers, but a real solid night for the veterans.

I think it was anybody's fight but Pantoja won over more accumulated strikes. Damage has to be accumulated. Just because you get elbowed once and bleed out does not mean that's enough damage. If this is the case Diaz brothers would lose every fight.
