Rising UFC star Steve Erceg says he's "preparing to go to war" when he fights for the flyweight crown in May, and even he's surprised at how quickly his shot at the title has come.
Erceg will start as rank underdog when he takes on champion Alexandre Pantoja in Rio de Janeiro on May 5.
It marks an amazing rise up the ranks for the 27-year-old West Australian, who only made his UFC debut nine months ago.
