Steve Erceg ready for Alexandre Pantoja at UFC 301 if he gets the call

Steve Erceg would jump at the opportunity if he was offered a title shot against Alexandre Pantoja.

Erceg (12-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) scored his first octagon finish when he knocked out Matt Schnell at UFC Fight Night 238. He called out Brandon Moreno after the win.

Flyweight champion Pantoja (27-5 MMA, 11-3 UFC) is looking to defend his title at UFC 301 May 4 in Rio. With Pantoja having already beaten most of the top contenders, Erceg is ready to make a quick turnaround if he’s approached.
