Steve Erceg Hopes To Open Some Eyes

Flyweight Title Challenger Steve Erceg Is Taking Everything In Stride Ahead Of His Headlining Bout At UFC 301

For two reasons, Steve Erceg couldn’t help but laugh when his manager called to let the Australian know he was getting a title shot. The first was that he was in the middle of eating KFC and figured it was best to leave it unfinished. The second was because he owed an apology to his father, who had suggested that Erceg was in line for a crack at the flyweight title. The younger Erceg dismissed him, as kids often do to their parents, but because his dad was proven correct, he knew he had some repenting to do.
