Thoughts of Erceg of Pantoja
“I wasn't expecting Steve Arseg, but that's a good name too,” Pantoja told MMA Junkie. “It’s funny, if you look at my interviews, what I always talked about about the flyweight division is that you can take someone from No. 10 and fight the champion or the No. 1 contender, and that It's going to be a good matchup.” Everyone is very good in this department. ”
“I competed against all divisions,” Pantoja said. “I fought No. 1 (Roybal) twice, No. 2 (Moreno) three times, and now No. 3 is Amir Albazi, who is injured. Previously, I fought against Kai Kara-France and Manel Cape. , I fought Alex Perez, I fought Matt Schnell, I fought everybody. I think that guy was very lucky because all these things happened.”
“He's coming into that fight fresh because he's never fought a No. 8, a No. 6, a No. 4 like me,” Pantoja said. “I got to fight all of them, I fought Manel Cape, Brandon Moreno, Brandon Roybal so many times, it gives me a lot of emotion.
“I lost a few years of my life in that fight, but a guy named Steve is so refreshing. He didn't fight guys at the top of the division. All the guys at flyweight are very good. He has good boxing and good jiu-jitsu, which will be very interesting to me.”
