As we move closer to the fight, the limelight of the fight is on Steve Erceg at the moment. Ahead of their clash at UFC, let us look at the number of times Erceg has lost in his career.

Steve Erceg’s only UFC loss

Hailing from the streets of Perth, Australia, Steve Erceg was born into a family of Croatian descent who spent their life in Australia. Erceg’s fascination with the world of MMA started when he witnessed Brock Lesnar taking on Frank Mir back in UFC 81. After witnessing such a bout, Erceg knew that the first thing he had to do was to join his local MMA Gym.

‘AstroBoy’ professional career started back in early 2016 when he debuted in the Australian fighting promotion. Well, Erceg was signed by the promotion back in 2023, his first fight was against David Dvorak back in UFC 289, and Erceg clinched the victory by way of a unanimous decision. After three victories at the UFC, Erceg got the chance to face Alexandre Pantoja for the flyweight belt.

The Australian fighter showcased tremendous effort to clinch the 125 lbs gold but failed to get the belt as Pantoja won the bout by way of unanimous decision. Erceg has fought four times under the promotion and he has a record of 3-1 in under UFC. Regardless, let’s have a look at Steve Erceg’s overall MMA record.
