#2 Henry Cejudo predicts upset in UFC 301 main event
Henry Cejudo is backing Steve Erceg to cause the upset and dethrone Alexandre Pantoja as the UFC men's flyweight champion.
'Astro Boy' is set for his first crack UFC gold in just his fourth fight in the promotion when he takes on hometown hero Pantoja in the main event in Rio de Janeiro.
Discussing the fight on a recent episode of the Pound 4 Pound podcast, Cejudo believes Erceg's highly technical approach to fighting means he could be set to cause one of the biggest upsets in MMA history. 'Triple C' explained:
"Something about Steve Erceg is he's super technical. He doesn't have that many fights but the person that has to make the adjustments in this fight is not Steve Erceg because he's a technical guy."
He continued:
"He wins this fight, but this could be one of the biggest upsets in UFC history... With three fights, ranked No.12 in the world to come out and beat the guy who has been the guy... Numbers don't lie."

"If this [fight] ends up happening, I believe it'd be fantastic. I would be looking forward to it...It would be a war. It would be a very entertaining showcase for the fans. With all the experience and skillset that Jon [Jones] has, but also with all the abilities I've been growing during my MMA career...I think it would be a great championship [fight] and everyone would be entertained by that."
