Former flyweight title challenger Steve Erceg
will be back in against against rising contender Asu
Almabaev at UFC
Vegas 103.

The Las Vegas-based promotion recently confirmed the 125-pound
pairing. UFC Vegas 103 — also known as UFC Fight Night 253 takes
place on March 1 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a
flyweight showdown between Brandon
Royval and Manel
Kape.

Erceg won his first three Octagon appearances before receiving a
surprise title shot at UFC 301, where he was competitive in a
unanimous decision loss to Alexandre
Pantoja last May. His next outing was less encouraging, as he
suffered a first-round TKO defeat to Kai
Kara-France at UFC 305 in August.

Kazakhstan’s Almabaev has kicked off his promotiona tenure with
four consecutive triumphs. He concluded a 3-0 2024 campaign with a
three-round verdict over Matheus
Nicolau at UFC Fight Night 245 this past October. The Brave
Combat Federation veteran has won 17 straight professional outings
dating back to September 2017.
