Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 670 Points | Tied for 1689th
Alexandre Pantoja, SUB, R2
Pantoja getting fresh blood is fun but this is a big test too soon in ercegs career and too soon considering he just fought i understand he took no damage but pantoja will be the much fresher fighter here erceg makes mistakes when he fights and over exerts himself at times when he shouldnt pantoja is going to get the takedown and when he does erceg will not get up i see a very similar situation to the first fight with royval where they scrambled and pantoja ended up getting the rear naked choke

Vitor Petrino, TKO, R2
Anthony Smith spends more time at this point at the desk then he does training vitor is young hungry hits like a truck and has takedowns hes winning this fight anywhere it will actually go smith only would have a chance if vitor gasses but smith will eat too many big shots get taken down and eat more ground shots

Alexandre Pantoja, SUB, R3
Erceg isn't ready for Pantoja.
Martinez vs. Aldo
José Aldo, DEC
Jonathan Martinez will find out why Jose Aldo is considered by many to be the UFC featherweight GOAT.

don't sleep on him bro "
I 100% agree. I initially thought when announced it was a walkover for Pantoja, but after taping and digging into it, I think Erceg has a good shot. People forget he is a much more accomplished grappler than a striker, so if he can avoid the ground (or just hold his own) with Pantoja, I think he can light him up on the feet.

2. Poatan vs. Ankalaev should get announced soon unless Magomed is going to straight up duck Poatan and a title shot. Poatan had written into his 300 main event contract that he gets to fight on this card, no questions asked, if he's healthy enough after 300 to fight. So for everyone complaining about the quality of this card, just remember a 2nd title fight could (should) be added very soon.

So he broke his toe 2 weeks before 300 but can't be cleared to fight in May? How does that make sense? I have no idea if such a clause actually ever existed, but I see absolutely 0 reason why Poatan can't fight on this card.
The UFC should definitely be trying to make that fight happen, because this card sucks.

I can guarantee poatan won’t fight on this card, ufc likely never even considered him turning around. He’s gonna fight ankalaev on the next Abu Dhabi card
