A flyweight clash pitting Steve Erceg
against Matt
Schnell has been rescheduled for
UFC Fight Night 238.
The Las Vegas-based promotion announced the pairing on Sunday.
Erceg and Schnell were initially slated to meet at UFC 295, but
Schnell was forced to withdraw from the contest for undisclosed
reasons. UFC Fight Night 238 takes place on March 2 at the UFC Apex
in Las Vegas and includes a heavyweight bout between Jairzinho
Rozenstruik and Shamil Gamziev and a flyweight scrap between
Muhammad
Mokaev and Alex Perez. A
headliner has not been confirmed for the event.
Erceg remained on the UFC 295 card, where he took a unanimous
verdict over replacement foe Alessandro
Costa. The 28-year-old Aussie has been victorious in 10
straight professional outings, including a three-round verdict
against David
Dvorak in his Octagon debut at UFC 289.
Schnell, meanwhile, hasn’t competed since December 2022, when he
suffered a second-round knockout loss to Matheus
Nicolau at UFC on ESPN 42. “Danger” has been victorious in just
one of his last four UFC bouts dating back to May 2021.
