NEW YORK – Steve Erceg exited the cage at UFC 295 both victorious and disappointed.
Although Erceg (11-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) defeated short-notice opponent Alessandro Costa (13-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC) by unanimous decision on Saturday’s prelims at Madison Square Garden, the performance left much to be desired during self-reflection.
“I’m happy I won,” Erceg told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference. “I’m grateful for the opportunity. It’s not the way I thought I would go out there and do it but that’s the fight game, right? I’ll take my lumps, take my wins. It is what it is.”
