Steve Erceg embracing journey toward another UFC flyweight title shot

Steve Erceg (14-4 MMA, 5-3 UFC) is working his way back toward a UFC flyweight title shot after a difficult stretch that included losses to champion Alexandre Pantoja at UFC 301, Kai Kara-France by first-round finish, and a decision defeat to former champion Brandon Moreno. He has since strung together back-to-back wins over Ode Osbourne and Tim Elliott to rebuild momentum. Erceg is set to compete in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 282, and credits his recent development to improved mixed martial arts versatility rather than focusing on a single discipline.
