Yea, Erceg, the powerhouse with 2 tkos 13 fights. Vs Pantoja who has never even been rocked in a fight.
Yes. See you after 301.

He could, but I think Pantoja will zombie his way through punches and take him down for a sub or hold him down for 5 roundsFuck it I picked Erceg with the the historic upset. If he can keep it standing he could do it.

He's an even better grappler than he is a striker. People are complaining, but this is an interesting fight.
Sherdog is no place for sound logic!Royval- Already lost twice and just fought Pantoja
Moreno- Already lost 3 times and coming off a loss
Albazi- Presumably still injured
KKF- Coming off a loss
Nicolau- Coming off a loss
Kape- Coming off a bad weight miss, can’t reward that
Mokaev- Made more sense but assume unwilling or unable
Perez- Coming off 3 straight losses
Elliott- 1 win streak, but don’t think he’s a better choice
Pantoja needs an opponent and there’s just not many options. Far from a deserved title shot but I guess best they could do under the circumstances.
Sometimes this is the answer. People talk all the time about how someone would get a shot because they're higher ranked, but I'd much rather have someone actually coming off a win vs giving the #2 ranked guy a shot going 1-2 at the time or something. The best challenger isn't always the desired challenger.Royval- Already lost twice and just fought Pantoja

No he called for the fight at 301 in his post-fight.Mokaev is probably out due to Ramadan.

That's encouraging to hear. I honestly don't know much about him but people were hyping up his boxing like crazy and he for sure can crack and is willing to engage but also left himself quite open for counters.
What kind of a grappler is he? Wrestler or BJJ guy?
I picked Schnell over Erceg, but when Erceg KO'd him with the most average-looking punches in the history of the world, I knew Schnell was ready for retirement.
Now those average-looking punches have morphed into shots with a baseball bat, apparently.
Erceg hits like a Ford Escort confirmed!
Schnell has been ko'd in 5 of his 8 losses. Dude has an Overeem level chin at 125. That itself is impressive.
Erceg has looked impressive, but the step up in competition from who he's been fighting, to Pantoja is the size of the Grand Canyon. He's going to get savaged in this fight.
If Pantoja is up for it, I could see Mokaev getting the next title shot on August 3rd in Abu Dhabi.
