The event will take place on Saturday, May 4, at the Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Alexandre Pantoja became a professional in 2007, and he joined the UFC in 2016 after reaching the semi-finals of The Ultimate Fighter: Tournament of Champions. He then won 9 of his next 12 fights, earning a title shot against Brandon Moreno in July 2023. Pantoja won the match via split decision, winning the UFC flyweight title. He has since defended it in a rematch against Brandon Royval in December.

Steve Erceg turned pro in 2016 and accumulated a record of 9-1 before joining the UFC in 2023. He then faced David Dvořák at UFC 289 in June and won via unanimous decision. His second fight was also a unanimous decision win against Alessandro Costa at UFC 295. The Australian has already fought this year, knocking out Matt Schnell in March. He has only recently entered the UFC flyweight top 10 rankings, but Pandoja has claimed that he is tougher than no.1 and no.2 ranked Royval and Moreno.

Undercard Preview

The big talking point of the undercard is that Jose Aldo has returned from retirement to take part in the co-main event. Aldo was the first UFC featherweight champion and has already been inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame. He enjoyed a short boxing stint with three fights last year and has now returned to feature in UFC 301. He will be facing 19-4 Jonathan Martinez, who is currently on an impressive six-fight win streak in the bantamweight division.

Method 2: Watch Pantoja vs Erceg Free Online via Apks

These methods make it possible to stream the event through various broadcasters such as TNT Sports 1, Super Sport Action, and SONY Sports TEN 2.

However, due to their free nature, free methods call for some precautions.

⚠️Free Streaming Precautions

Free streaming options are usually questionable as they let users access streams for free. This is quite a concern as some of these streams are usually hosted illegally, something that can lead to legal action and DMCA notices.

The caveat for free streaming apps and Kodi addons is that they don’t host the streams they provide access to. All they do is act as a search engine. This gives them some leeway, but it means that you are responsible for the content you access.

👉If you decide to use a free streaming method, we highly advise that you stay safe using a VPN. The VPN will protect you by encrypting your traffic to make it invisible to the ISP and changing your IP address to make you anonymous.

✋That said, you will also need to choose a VPN that can provide sufficient levels of privacy and security while not compromising streaming speeds.

From there, you can install a few apps that offer the networks previously mentioned.
