Opponent: Erceg-Osbourne is ready to lock
Saga started with Erceg originally scheduled to face the former title Challenger Alek Perez in what would be the fight for toppers. That plan was disturbed when Perez pulled off due to injury, leaving Erceg training camp in Limb. Looking for rescue matches, UFC paired Erceg with a refinement of South Korean Talent Huun Sung Park. Shortly afterwards, the organizational domini fell again, the park was drawn from UFC Vegas 109 and instead promoted to the main event this weekend UFC Vegas 108 against Tatsuro Taira. Late-notifications Changing the change not only Erceg’s calendar, but also its grade weight, because a new reservation with Osbourne will take place on Bantam categories, not flying.

For Steve Erceg, this is launched attributed to the instability of life in the WMA. Former UFC titles are not foreign to turbulence of high roles. By dropping three consecutive losses of elite enemies-Brandon Moreno, Kai Kara-French and Alexandre Pantoja-Erceg is under pressure to return to Founct Fount and is re-established as a top candidate. The circumstances leading to UFC Vegas 109 did not make this task easier. After practically preparation for wrestler-difficult, disciplined perez, and then reciprobal game plans for Langs, high-scale park, Erceg must now be adjusted the third time. The Osbourne depicts a unique, very different challenge: explosive athleticism and unpredictable strikingly known at the knockouts of emphasis reels as much as for duckhood defense.
To go to Osbourne, the opportunity is clear. After in recent years, by fires and losses and bouncing between flying and Bantamteight, the American who was born Jamaiker enters this fight to watch together to consistently consistently. Osbourne is exiting another round victory of who over Luis Gurula, but it knows that the clock is ticking to be founded as a true threat in one of the NFC’s farehouses. With assemblies for quick start and all-action combat, Osbourne can provide the greatest career victory with crucial presentation against the former Challenger title.
There is a irony for fans and fighters: Erceg now faces a third opponent from just a few weeks, and none of its recent training camps are probably adapted specifically to the list of Osbourne. In addition, this will be challenged at 135 pounds-ten kilograms above their normal flight limit, deleting any sharp benefit weight and adding new wrinkles to the preparation of every man. Historical, last-minute replacement replacements can produce dramatic disturbance, wild-ending and restored career paths or ejection.
