"PANTOJA IS ONE OF THE MOST ANNOYING FIGHTERS IN THE UFC"

[Ser das Trevas]

There are no more than 3 more lay opinions about the UFC than this one.

Pantoja delivers the most eventful first 3 rounds in the organization at the moment, it's chaos.

But I'm shocked when I see people saying that Erceg won this fight.

Man, this wasn't even competitive, there weren't 5 rounds total that Erceg dominated the fight.

People saw a little blood: "ERCEG WON."

Pantoja's strike fighting needs adjustments, he misses a lot when it comes to the momentum he gives.

But he's clearly in tune with this style, and it works for him.

If they put him to training, Pantoja would improve a lot.

He needs to polish this area.

Erceg had some of the weirdest hype I've seen on this site.

Everybody with clean boxing technique will always get extra love from the fans. It feels like they're always capable of taking a fight over with overwhelming combinations and a crisp jab even if they show holes in their own style.

I get anxious watching him fight because he always seems to gas out in the middle of the third round, so the fight get tense, even though he's winning...

Not that many people said Erceg won. Most said Erceg could have won if he fought a better 5th round.

Erceg pretty clearly won round 2 and there is zero doubt he won round 4, out striking Pantoja in both of those rounds on the stat sheet. Round 2 he shut down multiple TD attempts, swept Pantoja, and landed the bigger shots. Even in the video look how little time they devote to round 4, because it was all Erceg. Round 3 was when the cut happened, but Pantoja still won that round (imo and the judges). Some people may have wanted to give Erceg that round because of the cut, but Pantoja still dominated the grappling and striking that round.

Erceg was definitely in position to win after a dominant round 4, going into round 5, but he fought round 5 like he needed a finish. With a more measured approach he could have taken a decision. That’s why he was so upset at the decision, because he wrongly assumed he was down 3 rounds and knew he blew it by not fighting smart in round 5.

People said he came close to winning, not that it was a robbery.

Winning two rounds in a five round fight is being competitive.

They should've just given the belt to the little Eggman, Pantoja is boring as fuck. It seems like that fight had a "Dominick Reyes effect" on him, otherwise he wouldn't have lost to Pie Kara Can, or even had to fight him.
