Steve Erceg is a shooting star in a flyweight division crying out for one, but the battle-tested Alexandre Pantoja should knock "Astroboy" down a peg on Saturday night, per our UFC betting picks.
However, with money coming in on"Astroboy," the line may have swung too far since this might be a case of"too much, too soon" for Erceg, who made his UFC debut less than a year ago. The problem for the UFC was that Pantoja had already beaten the top contenders, and everybody else ranked in front of Erceg was either coming off an unimpressive performance or injured.
Erceg is coming off a spectacular knockout, but Schnell is hittable and chinny and didn't even try to implement his grappling. Pantoja is more durable and has never been finished in his career. If Erceg is unable to put him away, I don't think his takedown and grappling defense will be good enough to get the win. Especially with Pantoja having the power to crack him on the feet and the experience of winning five-round wars where he pushes the pace for 25 minutes.
