Steve Erceg’s father initially provided the motivation for one of the world’s best flyweights to not give up on mixed martial arts.
Erceg will look to get back into title contention against Kai Kara-France in the co-main event at UFC 305 in Perth, Australia, on Saturday. The Australian looks to bounce back from a hard-fought title loss against Alexandre Pantoja, where he silenced his doubters who considered him undeserving of the title shot in the first place.
Erceg recently revealed that he was about to leave the sport almost as soon as he started training.
