Steve faces Alexandre Pantoja for the flyweight championship at UFC 301 in Rio de Janeiro.


Steve Erceg

Black Belt Plus

From his early dreams of being the toughest person in any room to his professional ascent, Erceg's path to contender status was remarkably swift. Making his UFC debut in June 2023 at UFC 289, he quickly made a name for himself, securing victories against notable opponents and earning performance bonuses.


Erceg's passion for mixed martial arts was sparked by witnessing Frank Mir's victory over Brock Lesnar in 2008. This pivotal moment led him to pursue the sport, culminating in a professional debut eight years later and an impressive 11-fight winning streak.



As Erceg prepares for his title challenge, he reflects on the impact of fellow Australian fighters like Alexander Volkanovski, using them as a source of inspiration. He aims to continue the legacy of resilience and toughness associated with fighters from Oceania, viewing the championship not just as a personal achievement but as a continuation of regional pride.


Facing Pantoja, a seasoned competitor with a solid track record in the UFC, Erceg acknowledges the challenges ahead. He plans to leverage his comprehensive fighting skills and strategic acumen to overcome Pantoja's formidable jiu-jitsu and aggressive style.


As Erceg embraces the spotlight and the playful comparisons to popular culture figures like Michael Scott from "The Office," his goal remains clear: to demonstrate his skill and determination in the octagon. With a blend of humor and tenacity, Erceg is ready to show the world what a "hungry, game guy from Perth" can do in the highest echelons of MMA.
