"It's a very nice tasting fish. If you get it fresh it's amazing. Um not fresh it's less amazing. It's a fishier type fish" Steve Erceg-The Barramundi Hunter
Watched Steve since his first ufc fight and I knew he would get good attention in the ufc; he's so technically skilled and composed when he fights and after watching this interview I'm really rooting for him. I know he'll do well in the UFC for a long time 100%, he will be the future generation of UFC for people to look back on and this is only the beginning 💪🏻 but I really hope Saturday goes well for him; what a totally chill, down to earth, genuine and normal person he is 💙 I love getting to know fighters through these interviews, always a highlight of my week before the fights
What a likable dude. Nina if THE BEST thing to happen to the UFC in a long time. She brings such dope interviews and helps people learn about the fighters personalities
EXACTLY. She literally has the fighters show their non fighting personalities. That’s probably also helps the fighters feel good too so they can distract themselves a bit
This is the first time I've even seen an interview with Steve and I follow the sport like crazy. Seems like a very sweet man. I wish the UFC would allow us to get to know the fighters like Pride FC used to. I pride the fighters were the show, in the UFC, the UFC is the show.
Times moved on from that, fighters have no excuses for not embracing social media and getting themselves out there, look what Moicano is up to on RUclips, he needs to create his own content, has he got a channel up ?
@@Youafool500fighters are fighters not content creators, they don't need to put themselves out there if they don't want to because that's the ufc's job, but they would rather fill their own pockets than making their lower to mid level ufc fighters popular. The fighters already have a strict schedule because of their training and also most of them work a normal job too because uncle dana is greedy so I dont think you made a point there buddy.
@@dammaguy1286 When have you seen the UFC do that, you think it’s their job so name some and not the stars of the yesteryear, UFC only get behind someone when they start making headlines and winning fights and then at that point it’s the fighters who get a push, you are foolish to think they going to push everyone on their books
@@dammaguy1286 building a following and fan base is a huge part of being a fighter and social media is the perfect tool. Look at the most successful fighters in the UFC all create content, well pay someone to do it for them.
Shoutout Astroboy!!! What a great fight against a total savage in Pantoja!! He gave "The Cannibal" everything he could handle, and honestly he could have gotten a 48-47 decision win and nobody outside of Brazil would've been mad! This dude will be champ one day 100%
@@LarryMayvid I’ve only had kangaroo a few times, but I thought it tasted good! My Aboriginal friends & colleagues often said kangaroo tail was their favourite part
He is a really nice and grounded guy.. didn't know anything about him till this interview and now I'm gonna be routing for this guy and It's all your fault Nina! 😀
This guy seems chill, authentic and the lisp is cute lmao He might not be deserving of the titleshot but I'm happy that we get to know him more nonetheless.
Steve Erceg seems like one of the nicest guys in the world but then will beat you senseless in the blink of an eye. Despite what I’ve been seeing and hearing, UFC 301 is gonna be fun!
Steve Erceg with the opportunity of a lifetime after just three UFC fights. LFG Steve, shock the world and put your name in the Flyweight record books.

From acting in Hollywood to fighting for a UFC championship. Steve Carrell's story is so inspiring 💯 🏆

Not saying much lol

Nina becoming part of the UFC has been great! She's such a lovely light of a human being❤️
Simp
He’s definitely been active since joining the UFC. This will be his 4th fight in 11 months! Two performance of the nights, too.
Steve Erceg has Croatian heritage, and he could be after Stipe Miočić second part Croatian champ in the UFC...i will root for him!!!

Great interview, Nina! Already a fan of your style, but a new fan of Astroboy! Great job of getting him to open up. He's a likable dude.
Great interview. He was a great coach for my son too.
Loving the down to earth Perth representation!!!
Nina's interviews always bring out the fighters real personality. Keep it up 👊
Leon & Erceg would make the best rap duo of all time 🔥🔥
Bedtime MMA and Nina Drama collab. Awesome
such a great fighter and human. You should never judge a book by its cover. I hope he becomes the new UFC champion
He's a real one for answering the slap league question the way everyone else wanted to but wouldn't because of uncle Dana 🤣🤣🤣🙌
On the thumbnail he looks like Michael Scott from the office 😂
He looks more like the guy that killed those college students
He looks more like a mix of Michael Scott and Ryan Howard from the office
On the thumb... and in real life 😅
Yeah that was kind of the point of the thumbnail 😆

I just started finding out about this dude and he might be my favorite fighter. Dude is so damn chill.
He got the Jason Mraz vibe going on. All the best to this guy.. I appreciate chill fighters off the cage.
A normal powerslap answer, liking Steve Erceg more every day! I can't wait to see where his career goes!
Erceg describing his dream is basically Ben Stiller in Night in the Museum …
thank you Nina, sorry in the past was little critical about some of your stuff, but you're doing great
LMFAO when Nina was misunderstanding the red flags thing UNREAL 🤣🤣🤣 Erceg and smoking Crack
He was so good in that fight!
Lovely interview, didn’t knew bedtime was chill like that
Steve Erceg is hilarious! Can’t wait for UFC 301
Hitting kangaroos w ur car and eating em is the most aussie shit I ever heard
Kangaroo tail stew is pretty bloody good, or kangaroo tail cooked in the embers of a fire
Kangaroo jerky is bomb
Don't know any Aussies who eat kangaroo or enjoy it lol 😆
@@Nikkskavery interesting, is the tail the best part?
@@LarryMayvid I’ve only had kangaroo a few times, but I thought it tasted good! My Aboriginal friends & colleagues often said kangaroo tail was their favourite part
When Erceg picked his 3 fighters to ward off an alien invasion, his 3rd pick of DC was money 💰
bedtime X nina crossover goes crazy TRUST!!
Absolute fun guy!, love his style, go Steve, fight hard and take the title!
He’s a mix of ryan and Michael Scott someone tell me otherwise😂
@ 16:17 Nina thinking Steve smokes crack had me DYING!!! 😂😂😂 Steve is so likeable she was just totally cool with it! Lmao
Trust me I'm no casual, but Steve just came out of nowhere bruh. And he is likeable chill dude.
Been a fan of Steve’s for time, he’ll win the belt and take over the division
Greatest UFC interviews in the business" Nice shirt by the way!
What a nice guy. I feel bad for thinking he reminds of Subway Ghost from Ghost movie. Backed him to win 💪🏻
I’m a new fan. Relatable guy.
Man, what a likable guy. Rooting for him tomorrow 🎉
He is a really nice and grounded guy.. didn't know anything about him till this interview and now I'm gonna be routing for this guy and It's all your fault Nina! 😀
It's funny how he was joking about being a crack head and then said Ben cousins is in his contacts 😂😂😂
Bro said Hercules was his favorite movie. He’s just like me fr. I love Steve Erceg now!
Weird not getting any notification when your videos go up..this guy is a 🐐 love his last two performances
Already one of my favourite fighters
Nina's shirt is awesome it looks like my last acid trip
always appreciate Nina giving some shine for these not so well known fighters
Okay I like Erceg now….. Cool genuine dude
It’s funny how Steve and I said Sean Strickland at the same time before Nina even finished the question 😂
Kid has some knockout power. Wouldn't be surprised with another upset.
Cool guy, i like his attitude. Sadly i am a smoker so we will never get along 😅
12:36 bro is mesmerised
Seems like a good dude, I could see him as Steve from Blues Clues as well
Bedtime rizzing nina up
Good to see Steve like this. BRING IT HOME ASTROBOY 💥💥
I like this guy. Hope he gets the win this weekend.
Im want him to win this fight so bad, my favorite comedy actor and fighter frfr

Steve Erceg will be the biggest star in this sport since Conor McGregor i promise you
Its good to see Nina getting reluctant after being forced to talk about power slap
I’m a fan of this guy
A dangerous underrated killer this guy
The definition of bullied at school and grew up to be a proper bloke. Steve is living proof bullying works!
Hes the most socially normal guy ive seen in the ufc
So cool, so refreshing, what a guy.
Gotta support. Steve Ersscsseg
Super cool dude, imagine he pulls this off! 👌🏾😇
Erceg era begins now💪
That man described drill perfectly
Steve boxing is levels above anyone in his division. AND KNEW!!!!
What a cobber. Mate ain’t no chook. He’ll bring the fight to Pantoja and finish the fight. Hard yakka I reckon.
Steve carols son seem like good dude.
What a great dude!!
F*** the belts you know you've made it when Nina interviews you🤍
