UFC 301: Pantoja vs Erceg Main Card Analysis

Paul Craig vs Caio Borralho

Paul Craig brings a decent 17-7-1 record into his bout versus Caio Borralho. Craig hasn’t fought well recently, though, winning just 1-of-4, a knockout of Andre Muniz in July of last year.

Borralho has a fantastic 15-1 record. Caio has versatility, going 4-0 via both submissions and knockout and technical knockout victories. Like many on the main card, Borralho is Brazilian, which means the crowd will be behind him. Back the chalk to get the knockout win.

Michel Pereira vs Ihor Potieria

Ihor Potieria has a nice 21-5 record. Backing Potieria in this, though, means you expect him to revert to his best form because 3 of Ihor’s 5 losses have come in his last 4 bouts.

Pereira’s record isn’t as sparkling at 30-11. But Pereira’s last loss came versus Diego Sanchez in 2020. Since then, Michel has been on a 7 fight winning streak. UFC bettors are all over Pereira. We should as well. Look for a KO prop.

Anthony Smith vs Vitor Petrino

Underdog Anthony Smith is up against it for sure. Smith has won a single bout in his last 4. Not only that, but on Saturday night, he takes on an undefeated fighter.

Vitor Petrino is 11-0. Petrino has grappling skills, few Brazilian mixed martial artists don’t possess some grappling skills, but Vitor prefers to knock out his opponents. Petrino has a fantastic short left hook that will send any fighter to the canvas. Vitor wins via stoppage.

Jonathan Martinez vs Jose Aldo

37 year old Jose Aldo hasn’t fought since 2022. Aldo lost to Merab Dvalishvili via unanimous decision.

Aldo’s opponent on May 4, Jonathan Martinez, hasn’t lost since a 2021 bout against Davey Grant. Since then, the favorite in this has developed a decent game, beating name fighters Cub Swanson and Said Nurmegomedov. Aldo should be too rusty to get by Martinez. A decision victory by the favorite seems probable.

Alexandre Pantoja vs Steve Erceg

Erceg has a couple of physical advantages. He’s got a slightly longer reach and is 3 inches taller. Also, Erceg has lost just 1 bout in his career and is 6-0 via submission victories.

Pantoja is on a 5-match winning streak. No doubt, both fighters are flying high right now. The bet, though, is on the underdog. Because he’s taller, Erceg can punch down on Pantoja while Alexandre must punch up to get to Erceg’s face. The challenger scores the upset win.
