Fighters With the Most to Lose on Saturday
Erceg is in a must-win situation. He’s on a two-fight losing streak, and those losses came against the champion Alexandre Pantoja and a knockout defeat at the hands of Kai Kara-France, the man most of us expect will challenge for the title later this year.
If Erceg loses to Moreno in the main event, he won’t just find himself on a three-fight losing streak—he’ll have also ruined almost every logical path to a title shot any time in the near future.
That’s pressure.
Kelvin Gastelum is another fighter in a bit of a must-win situation. Gastelum has declared himself a full-time middleweight, so he should be at his best since leaving the horrendous weight cut down to welterweight behind him.
If Gastelum loses to Joe Pyfer—especially by KO—it’ll make it very tough for him to make another run at a world title.
Fighters Making Their UFC Debut
Two fighters are making their promotional debuts, and both are among the more exciting prospects in the UFC. Ateba Gautier is a 6-foot-4, 22-year-old stud from Cameroon. He blew through Yura Naito on Season 8 of the Dana White’s Contender Series to earn his spot on the roster, and he draws Jose Daniel Medina in his first official fight with the UFC.
David Martinez is 11-1 and from Ecatepec de Morelos, Mexico. The crowd will be fired up for him, and he has established himself as an all-action fighter. He will step into the Octagon with Saimon Oliveira on the main card.
