MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz has given his thoughts on the announcement of Alexandre Pantoja’s title defense against Steve Erceg. The fight is scheduled as the main event of UFC 301, which will be held on May 4 at the Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This marks Pantoja’s return to his home country for the first time in his UFC career, where he aims to defend his men’s flyweight title for the second time.

For Steve Erceg, currently ranked No.10 in the division, this title shot comes early in his UFC tenure, being only his fourth fight within the promotion. Despite some fans expressing surprise over Erceg’s rapid ascent to a title fight without facing any top 5 opponents, Abdelaziz sees the match-up as a smart move by the UFC. Abdelaziz’s endorsement of the fight was succinctly expressed in a comment on an Instagram post, where he simply stated, “Good fight.”

Meanwhile, undefeated flyweight contender Mohammaed Mokaev has questioned the UFC’s decision to grant Steve Erceg a title fight against Alexandre Pantoja. Mokaev, who has a perfect record in the promotion with six wins, including four finishes and two performance bonuses, believes he is more deserving of the title opportunity. He expressed his frustration on social media, highlighting his impressive winning streak and finishing rate compared to Erceg’s shorter UFC tenure.

Mokaev, who represents Manchester, England, but hails from Dagestan, has been particularly vocal about his achievements in the UFC. He points out that he has more finishes in the promotion than Erceg has fights, emphasizing his readiness for a title shot. The 23-year-old fighter’s online posts reflect his confidence and determination to compete for the UFC flyweight belt in the near future.
