“I just blew it.”
Australia n UFC star Steve Erceg has fallen short in his bid to shock the world, admitting one key mistake cost him dearly.
However, both Erceg and Pantoja’s corners seemed in agreement that the champion had won each of the first three rounds despite the UFC commentary team suggesting otherwise. Both Cormier and Felder were full of praise for Erceg, who they said proved himself “absolutely elite” by taking his far more experienced opponent the distance.
“It’s hard to see Steve realise that right then and there and we kind of said it on the broadcast but like DC told him, nothing to hang your head on,” Felder said. Ruffy showed a bit of everything in the win, tripping Mullarkey up with a flying scissor sweep before startling the Australian with a pair of strong right hands near the end of the round.
