Honestly kind of sad how dead the Brazilian crowds always are, the UFC really needs to go to places that they haven't been before.

they had to do promo's to try to sold out the card here in brazil. promos like "buy $200 venum merch and get 2 tickets", go to "shooto event and earn a ufc ticket". the tickets were too expensive, the country is in economic crisis bc the president is a commie and everything else. 1.5M of ppl at Madonna's show in Rio too at same time of event

Erceg trying to take Pantoja down in the 5th reminded me about Gane going for the sub against Francis in the 5th.

I have no doubt Erceg is gonna fight for the title again really soon. Maybe 2 more fights at most, and he's gonna be back.

Maybe if the UFC put some effort in to make every fight super close instead of shooting for a nearly clean home country sweep fans would be more excited to attend.

Erceg will 100% be champ one day. He beats anyone else in that top 5 and pantoja is like 34.

Erceg won. Bad decision. Props to ppl who picked him, respect to y'all!

Steve clearly won rounds 3, 4 & 5. Most of Pantoja's punches on the feet were being deflected by Steve's shoulders and incredible angles-footwork. Erceg clearly won the exchanges on the feet in the last 4 rounds, and Pantoja did NOTHING with his grappling other than hug for dear life

I will re watch the fight now just so I can see that sick scramble that pantoja did in round 5 to win. That **** was crazy to see

One elbow or one strike doesn't necessarily score you the entire round. Context matters. I also thought Pantoja won round 3. The only round I thought was clearly Ercegs was round 4.

@papuhart Yeah, it's like I said earlier in the thread. The UFC messed up big time and did a poor job marketing and also with the pricing of the seats. You can't ask for high prices in a place where people struggle to make ends meet. Brazil is known to have passionate fans, so I'm sure they would've showed up if the prices weren't that high.

Erceg clearly won that fight, when I heard 49-46 I figured It surely had to go home with him but I guess judges still have no idea how to score?

Not a bad result after coming back after a break from MMA. Hoping the good times keep rolling!

2, 4, 5 at the minimum for Erceg. 3 can be argued either way. Say what you want about the awful decision to shoot a takedown from Erceg in the fifth, Pantoja did nothing at all with It, and Erceg had slightly more output before hand, so he should win by a thing margin on damage in the fifth.
