I havent even watched the video but im assuming a better title for this video would be: Steve Erceg breaks down what went wrong in his title fight
Him getting emotional isnt gonna make people click
Erceg arguably won on damage 4/5 rounds. Judges pick and choose when damage is more relevant than control. Erceg is a top 5 flyweight for the next 5+ years hopefully he's able to get his way to another title shot.
No he didn’t , he got controlled for over 5 minutes 😂
@@evasta9850 so? what does control mean in mma? it isn't even scored according to ruleset, only thing that counts is effective striking or grapling that might lead to finish, i didn't know you could finish your opponent by laying on them, I guess you learn something new everyday.
Don't mean anything @@evasta9850
@Laglager when Erceg himself admits to being down 4 to 1 or 3 to 2...how do you explain that? You saying he's wrong ? The person who was IN the fight that night vs someone who watched it ?
@@NooneTymeCollections yes he IS wrong, the reason? Most fighters just judge the fight however they want instead of looking at rules and how the fight should be evaluated. That's why he keeps talking about control despite the fact that it doesn't even count according to official rulebook.
This man just earned a massive fan. I cannot believe how unbelievably humble and transparent he is
this was awesome. steve is going to be champion one day.lets go
He literally beat Fraudtoja, he just need the belt
I was shocked when they read the scorecards 🤦 The fight left me with no doubt that Steve is the best flyweight in the world 💪
Maybe the better fighter but is he the better mixed martial artist?
@@dfredankey He is a better fighter and an even better mixed martial artist. Much better technique in all areas and he demonstrated it in Pantoja's hometown...but the judges are the judges
I LOVE Steve Erceg. I'll be tuning into each fight card that has him on it. Steve will be champ one day.
Bedtime hating on yet another champ
Steve beat the dog shit outta him and the judges robbed him anyone who has seen it agrees your a clown
explain pls
@@user-yb3ze1jt9k He looks sleepy bro
Where's bedtime? Bedtime doesnt have a lisp

I get the sense that he learned a lot from his fight and that he isn’t dishearted, but rather emboldened and determined to get better. Also showed five round cardio, which tells me he’ll be around for a while
Niko does something i love, he always tells the guest what we all want to say haha. Especially when the fighters are down on themselves. Seriously such a great interviewer.

Awesome video format. I imagine it would be hard to find many fighters with enough humility to openly analyse and discuss their losses. I hope to see more like it.
Erceg earned himself everything but the belt that night. Great performance from a great fighter.
Do more of these segments they’re cool to watch
Everyone threw erceg under the bus , he did so well , feed them elbows to him
There’s an argument for 49-46 Erceg but there is no argument for 49-46 Pantoja. Pantoja layed and did no damage and erceg landed all the significant shots, knocking his head back. I encourage all of you who said Pantoja won to watch the weasels breakdown
I agree in what world does laying on top of someone rule over punching someone’s face in and leaving it a bloody mess
Dope breakdown of the fight!
saying erceg hits like a girl then almost throwing up in the corner and getting your face cut open for 4 rounds is wild
This fight was a pleasure to watch. Extremely competitive. Go Erceg!
You didn’t lost that fight.
Please stop
@@FredrickHoxinvillezip it
@@FredrickHoxinville he smoked pantoja
@@xeta180yet lost by ud cope
@@cozy.elfenomenooooo just like how Jared Gordon lost to Paddy right, or Dominic Reyes lost to Jon Jones? You must believe everything the media tells you cuz I dont think you can form an opinion on your own.
My allergies are playing up! I’m not crying! You’re crying
Erceg as champ will save the flyweight division
Will save my world, bro
very respectful towards the champ after arguably wining it.. Sean, take notes.
Steve won that fight. He’s the uncrowned flyweight champion as far as I’m concerned
He will be back for sure
You put in a valiant effort mate. I hope you get back there again 1 day. I'm sure you'll come out on top, keep going.
He will get bottomed again just like the aussies and kiwis do on a daily basis by china 🤣
I’m a big fan of pantoja but erceg is a straight up dawg. I think he can get the belt. Also thought he might’ve won that fight but i didn’t know
I understand from his perspective being on bottom momentarily felt as if he had lost certain rounds, but the criteria very clearly states that mere position control does not score unless the effective striking is completely even. Effective grappling is defined as securing a position to land significant strikes or attempt a submission, and Pantoja never once attempted a submission and almost never attempted ground and pound. I think it was clear that Steve was leading in the effective striking, and there was no true effective grappling that would score for either of them.
When the effective output is not 100% even, positional control is not scored whatsoever, the criteria states this clearly.
Its clear that he has the ability to compete at this championship level, and if he were to fight Pantoja again or any other contender he can certainly win. Had the judges actually used the criteria to the most literal, most word for word interpretation he would have been given that decision.
exactly people, who say erceg lost haven't actually read the criteria, their reasons are literally always about control when it was unimpactful and completely ineffective other than maybe 6 shots he landed down their in a full 25 minutes
Teach a man to fish.
Where does one find the criteria for UFC fights?
It's a shame Steve still feels like he "blew it". I get what he's saying about opportunities, but there's a difference between coming up short and "blowing it".
"Blowing it" would be making a mistake and getting finished in the first round. If that Rd5 takedown reversal was in the first minute and led straight into a submission finish, sure, you blew it.
Erceg doesn't have the belt, but he definitively proved he belongs at the top of his division. That ain't blowing it.
I still don’t see how that gets scored for Pantoja. I thought it was pretty clear 4-1 Erceg arguably 3-2.
love videos like this. great insight and analysis with the fighter. so fun and interesting to watch 💪👌
Class act love Steve
Bedtime's alter ego
He’ll be back just the experience he needed. Did amazing tho considering all that
Was a broad daylight robbery on a fine sunday morning.
Really good just lacked some experience
I think he Steve won the fight pretty clearly, I don't think the fight came down to that final round. Hearing how much small things in Steve's game bugged him from this fight, I'm sure he'll improve no doubt.
He definitely needed a strong 5th round to seal the judges decision in Brazil
Steve is so cerebral!!! He is very aware of all that is going on!!! He will be champ eventually!!!
He has champion-like qualities for sure. Seems focused
I feel if that fight wasn’t in Brazil, you would’ve won Erceg. You’ll be back Bedtime.
Weird cope 2/3 judges were American 😂
@@Wessside213yea how would you feel as an American judge in Brazil bro lol that place is NUTS
@@Eddie0102have you been?
@@FredrickHoxinville I wouldn’t go to that place if they gave me a million USD direct deposit brother
@@Eddie0102 lmao I’d be worried if they were true diehard fans like that, but they would probably just walk out like they always do
Steve won imo. He will be champ.
💪🏽🐐
Erceg won the fight. Pantoja hugged and held onto dear life to make it to a decision. Robbery.
I believe that erceg could take over the flyweight divisiom
Steve won this fight, hands down. It's so typical of the corrupt judges provided by the corrupt athletic commission who provide the same corrupt services to the boxing world.
Steve, you were so close, you will get back.
Erceg won this fight.
Erceg is the best flyweight, no doubts
Love Ur work, Stevey 💪🫵🔥
Yessirrrr
That shot was essentially a freebie. Didnt lose anything. His ranking etc. He can now just continue climbing the rankings as he would've anyways and get another shot. 2 wins against top 6 guys and hes right back in there for a title.
This segment was money for the UFC in terms of promo material when these 2 do rematch in the future. I think all Steve has to do is beat 1 top 5 guy and he’s in their against Pantoja again and beats him after learning from his mistakes.
The experience will only benefit steve and he will be better for it
Don’t worry bedtime you’ll chin Kai and get your rematch
Erceg isn’t lying. Deserves a rematch. Pantoja just holds you with zero threat of submission. Boring fighter
You beat him mate
goat
They robbed my boy bedtime
He is a better fighter and an even better mixed martial artist. Much better technique in all areas and he demonstrated it in Pantoja's hometown...but the judges are the judges
What it do, Erceg crew
incel
I had Erceg winning that fight.
Steve would have won if he didnt make a few rookie mistakes but he will be champ soon.
He didn’t beat you, you’re just such a nice guy you didn’t want to stomp him in your first time out so you gave him a way out
That 5th round was a tragedy.
Rematch needs to happen ASAP. Erceg won that fight.
he almost won, and that should tell you about the high possibility of him becoming a champion
He was so competitive and confident that I'm sure people want to see him compete again for the title, soon enough. He'll adjust and come back to go on another legendary streak like he did after his first loss. I think Erceg lost because Pantoja had experienced this kind of fight before, he's durable but not creative. I'm a fan from Iceland.
bro your young U know U will have that belt soon...go WA power
Erceg most likely beats anyone else in the top 3, he’ll get a title shot again very soon.
This guy is so tough and technical but looks the exact opposite.
Fought in Brazil what did he expect
Steve Erceg villain arc incoming
What it do?
Yo guys you know what’s funny why does Pantoja strike like bueno Silva In the women’s division 🤣🤣🤣
Do something about that takedown defense!!!!!! You would beat the shit outta him
i got a lot more confidence in the UK kid after hearing his analysis
Perth not UK even better!
Steve was way more fun to watch than Pantoja, Pantoja is just tough and strong for the weight class...if that was not hosted in Brazil you know the Aussie walks away with the dub
U almost won
@BedtimeMMA what it DO!
Well Steve literally beat him he just got robbed.
WA all the way bro get back in there they threw you to the wolves come back leading the pack
Astroboy Beat him
Lets Go Astro Boy Strayas behind ya brutha you was robbed!! ✊✊✊
Robbed
What did do i beat that foo
AHmaZzin’
had it 4-1 pantoja, idk how people see erceg winning maybe it was closer than i remember but erceg is a top tier flyweight, could see him beating some most of the top guys.
lol 4-1 Pantoja is terrible. 48-47 either way is the correct score Pantoja lost all the striking and just laid on him on top.
lets be real, erects the champ
erceg ppls champ bc we don’t fw pantojas lay and pray style
Damage above all laying and praying dont mean shit erceg won 3 4 and 5
Don't forget. Erceg was robbed like many many others
Cope
The sooner they retire Bruce Buffer and the forever intro the better....almost as annoying as Joe Rogan
Dude tried to take a point away in round 1 what a beta
I look forward to watching you defend your belt in 2025 Astroboy 👑👑
ERCEG lost the Fight LOL he did everything to lose i had it 4-1 Pantoja close competitive fight but i think u can make the argument Pantoja won like all the rounds
Fighters like Erceg and the champion are a blight on mma. Noone wants to watch people rolling around on the ground or up against the cage for long extended periods.
Pantoja is the worst ufc champion right now, literally no skill in anything he just has a good chin
robbed
His also extremely boring to watch
I like the fact that i forgot his name the day after the fight whoever that fella who got that lucky privilege opportunity at the title :)
And still. 😇
That no name clearly beat your champ in his hometown based on damage. If that was in any other place other than Brazil, Erceg would have been crowned the rightful champ
@@sidsupreme8179 lol cry harder
lucky privilege but busted up the champ to a decision in his 4th ufc fight, not bad
@@AmrtAayaan id love to hear an argument on how Pantoja won that fight
@@sidsupreme8179 there isnt one
Bro lost the fight to lisp lol
In our weakness God’s strength is made perfect.
@@JesusSavesandRomeEnslaves yea you right
What a cry baby, Pantoja gave this guy a chance, which he did not deserve at all, and now he is complaining about it
Why are you so salty about it, he has the right to complain about it, it was a super close fight
@@desmondkaiser7299 I am not salty, this guy was complaining the whole video about it, while Pantoja appeared on a podcast and only gave props to him. Plus, Pantoja is the champion, he should be grateful because nobody knew this guy and he gave him a chance
Probably because he got robbed of a ufc belt? He clearly won the fight and nobody else deserved a title shot. You'd be mad if you got robbed of half your paycheck and a ufc belt guaranteed
I lost a parlay of 3k due to that bad decision still burns
U lost the fight
He got robbed pantoja got exposed
