Flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja will be in his hometown in Brazil on Saturday night in order to defend his title against Steve Erceg at UFC 301. This will be the champ’s second title defense and it will come against an up-and-coming fighter who is on an 11-bout winning streak. Also coming back home, in more ways than one, will be Jose Aldo. Also a Brazlian native, he hasn’t been in the octagon in 21 months, but on Saturday, May 4 he will take on Jonathan Martinez.

About UFC 301: Pantoja vs. Erceg
UFC Flyweight Champion Alexandre Pantoja (27-5) returns home to Brazil to put his belt on the line against Steve Erceg (12-1). His only previous title defense came in a unanimous decision in December over Brandon Royval, his fifth-straight win. As impressive as that winning streak is, Erceg enters the fight having not lost since 2018. If he can up his streak to a dozen, he will walk out of UFC 301 as a champion.
UFC Hall of Famer Jose Aldo (31-8) hasn’t fought in nearly two years but returns to the octagon to take on rising bantamweight star Jonathan Martinez (19-4). Martinez has won six straight and preventing a legend from celebrating a successful return would mark the biggest victory of his career.
Between all of the prelims and the main card, there are 14 fights slated for UFC 301, so make sure that you sign up for subscription to ESPN+ and purchase the PPV for $79.99.
