Ce poids mouche australien, n\u00e9 \u00e0 Perth, s&rsquo;est construit loin des projecteurs avant de d\u00e9barquer dans la cage la plus regard\u00e9e de la plan\u00e8te.<\/p>\n<h3>Des promotions australiennes \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC<\/h3>\n<p>Erceg lance sa carri\u00e8re pro en 2016 sur le circuit australien \u2014 Eternal MMA, Hex Fighting Series. Il y d\u00e9croche le titre des poids mouches d&rsquo;Eternal et empile un record de 9 victoires pour 1 d\u00e9faite avant que l&rsquo;UFC ne vienne le chercher. Une trajectoire classique de prospect qui fait tout le boulot localement avant d&rsquo;avoir sa chance.<\/p>\n<h3>La chance au titre, vite arriv\u00e9e<\/h3>\n<p>Sa mont\u00e9e est fulgurante : \u00e0 peine install\u00e9 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC, Erceg se retrouve face \u00e0 Alexandre Pantoja pour la ceinture des poids mouches, \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 301 en mai 2024. Il pousse le champion br\u00e9silien dans ses retranchements mais s&rsquo;incline aux points. Un combat qui le r\u00e9v\u00e8le au grand public malgr\u00e9 la d\u00e9faite.<\/p>\n<h3>Une p\u00e9riode difficile, puis le rebond<\/h3>\n<p>La suite est rugueuse : d\u00e9faite par TKO contre Kai Kara-France (UFC 305, ao\u00fbt 2024), puis aux points contre l&rsquo;ancien double champion Brandon Moreno en t\u00eate d&rsquo;affiche en avril 2025. Erceg renoue avec la victoire en mai 2026, aux points contre Tim Elliott, \u00e0 domicile \u00e0 Perth. Son record pro tourne autour de 14 victoires pour 4 d\u00e9faites.<\/p>\n<h3>Aujourd&rsquo;hui<\/h3>\n<p>Class\u00e9 dans le top 10 des poids mouches UFC, Erceg reste un nom qui compte dans une des divisions les plus techniques du sport.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Steve_Erceg\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/steve-erceg\">UFC.com<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steve \u00ab Astroboy \u00bb Erceg Steve Erceg est la preuve qu&rsquo;on peut sortir de l&rsquo;autre bout du monde et se retrouver \u00e0 un round pr\u00e8s du titre UFC.
