UFC 301 WAS INCREDIBLE! (UFC 301 Recap & Breakdown)

UFC 301 just happened and man that card was incredible. Although it wasn't stacked on paper, the main card fights were bangers. Pantoja and Erceg having a proper scrap, Aldo making a big return win and Smith somehow beating Petrino? Let me know your thoughts on this PPV

[@mobinsadeghi]

That Anthony Smith win made me quit my gambling addiction for good

[@anthonyontv1061]

I had smith to win, crazy how many people counted him out. The erceg robbery is what did it for me though. I’m done as well.

[@Hassan__Sobh]

Card was over-hated, I enjoyed it

[@victorf6672]

Borralho was good but he needs to improve his striking for whenever he fights someone who is not completely shit at striking. His front hook was leaving him open for counters. But he is an intelligent guy, he might be able to go far. Pereira is just awesome. Aldo is just awesome. I scored 3-2 Pantoja, the elbow in round 3 was damaging but if I recall correctly Pantoja was outstrking Erceg until that point and he got the takedown. Round 5 will haunt Steve for a long time, that was a really bad judgement call to go for the takedown.

[@jdamsel8212]

People calling robbery are delusional. I thought it was close but Pantoja edged it.

[@kp__-6]

I think the fact that Craig was only hitting him with kicks meant caio felt that he could leave himself open when he was punching him, when he faces a better boxer I think he will be smarter as you said

[@pedrogirao316]

This cut made people think that erceg dominated Pantoja

[@puneetsahewala24]

Erceg got robbed....Pantoja didn't do anything significant during the control time...UFC judges need to give due importance to striking and damage over insignificant control time and takedowns...it's supposed to be a MMA fight not a wrestling match

[@calebryan3094]

If he can make it up the rankings. I feel like Michel Pereira vs. DDP would be hella fun as they can both strike and grapple

[@MrGorisky]

To be honest before the last round Erceg won just 1 round in a clear way, if you want you can give him 2 rounds but going into the last round he had to find the finish while standing up, instead he shot a terrbile takedown and got taken down by Pantoja and basically gave him free time control. Maybe not the clearest of wins but i can definitely understand the Unanimous decision win for Pantoja

[@Qwiqs]

he landed like 16 more strikes and 8 more takedowns, not a robbery but it was close. great ppv, banger after banger fight

[@victorf6672]

As a brazilian, I just really hope they stop going to Rio. The São Paulo crowd perhaps went a little bit too far last time by celebrating Almeida's snoozefest against Lewis, but they would absolutely have given Shogun a proper standing ovation and Pantoja wouldn't have asked for them to stay. It's sad that the company that went to so many states in the past now only considers Rio for bigger events and makes all of Brazil look bad because that's all people see.

Jose said that he didn't throw more kicks, because Jonathan is a southpaw, so he could end up hitting Jonathan's knee, and hurt himself

[@dima12130]

Erceg wasn't robbed, y'all just hate Brazil. Control time matters, which Pantoja absolutely dominated in. If you're talking about round 3, Erceg had less significant strikes.

[@milod546]

Erceg's skills looked amazing before the fight, not surprised he did well. Glad he got this excellent exposure, future champ for sure., though I am curious about Mokaev as well.

Man that card was good, honestly man if erceg didn’t shoot for so many takedowns later in the fight he possibly could have won

[@mkspooke7821]

Man I really did think erseg clearly won, but it was close I just don’t think the one dimensional fighting was enough from pantoja, he was gassed and doing nothing in the feet

[@gabrielchaves4822]

Nothing on the feet? Erceg only had 2 more strikes connected than the champ

[@MASTRA1]

I thought erceg was the one dimensional fighter here. He had no grappling and was consistently being taken down at will, pantoja broke his old takedown record in this fight.

[@danieldennis7508]

​@@gabrielchaves4822on the feet?

[@Shaneedward42]

Erceg lost 100 percent, this isn't a video game, erceg needs to fight and finish real fighters. His resume is weak and his experience is years behind. Give him a few real opponents and 2 years and he may be ready.

[@sambrown8301]

@@Shaneedward42have to disagree think erceg clearly outdamaged pantoja in atleast 3 rounds u can argue 4 since he opened a massive cut in round 3. If you score the fights on damage like you are supposed to, meaning that u essentially ignore grappling unless it leads to submissions and ground and pound, then erceg clearly wins on damage.

[@oncrooncro780]

when you make the predictions for the next ufc fight night :D?

[@ramoondark3246]

Erceg didn't lose only because of ground control, even by just scoring striking you can give him 2 to maybe 3 rounds

[@user-io1qp3og5h]

What do you think about making all main card fights 5 rounds?

[@Declan907]

erceg just pulled some michael chandler shit

[@Declan907]

i wanted erceg to win, but i had pantoja winning. lost too much control time, got absolutely dominated on the ground and kept going for takedowns like a dumbass. was very winnable though

[@Declan907]

Man it the Pantone vs erceg was 2-2 then erceg began the 5th round very good until the last 1:30 where he made a bad decision to take Pantone down maybe that moment costed him the fight but man mad respect to erceg this guy will be good but he needs an improvement in cardio.

[@thirtythreeyears]

No, he lost, and will lose again if they dont build him up, Erceg will absolutely 100% be a champion, just not now

[@joaoaugusto7049]

To begin he didn't deserved the title shot, he was filling a hole, i understand that was a close match and all, but now let him climb the ranks properly

[@user-wk4ee4bf8g]

I get the feeling told Michel Pereira to miss weight on purpose to simultaneously move him up to his proper division and to fuck with Wonderboy for some reason. Like how they told Khamzat to miss weight that time before moving up. They play all sorts of nasty games with the fighters and fans.

[@xwyatt9876]

There needs to be points for defending takedowns and wrestling, erceg wasn’t taking any damage on the ground n defended submissions

Ya dude, Anthony Smith has zero chance for winning the title, but he can beat people who aren't ready. I'm kinda happy for him tbh, I like when fighters surprise us.

[@EthanSchaner]

I think Erceg should have won. He very obviously did more damage which is what the scoring criteria is based on. Rip goat Erceg.

[@marquin6541]

Pantoja land 125 significative strikes - Erceg: 111; Pantoja: 9 takedowns - Erceg: 1; Pantoja control time: 8 minutes - Erceg: 32 seconds. Pantoja land more strikes in round 1, 3 and 5, and have the takedowns. Round 2 Erceg land 6 more strikes but got takedown 3 times, in my opnion 3 takedowns > 6 strikes. Pantoja clear wins.
