Highway robbery or right decision? Everybody’s got an opinion on who won the UFC 301 main event between Alexandre Pantoja and Steve Erceg.
Many thought the flyweight champion would be way too much for the green #10 contender Erceg to handle, but the Western Australian was as game as they come in his first UFC title fight, giving Pantoja one of his toughest fights yet. After five grueling rounds of closely-contested action, Pantoja would get the unanimous decision nod (48-47, 48-47, 49-46) to retain the title.
Though, not everybody had the same scorecards as the official judges down in Brazil.
