UFC 301 is headlined by a flyweight title fight between champ Alexandre Pantoja and Steve Erceg, whose title shot raised eyebrows despite his three-fight winning streak. Pantoja defends the title for the second time after outpointing Brandon Royval at UFC 296.
Aldo serves as the co-headliner in a fight against Jonathan Martinez. Aldo unexpectedly returned to the UFC fold after a brief boxing career. Martinez has won his past six fights including a leg-kick TKO of Adrian Yanez in his previous appearance.
The UFC 301 main card airs on ESPN+ pay-per-view and takes place at Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro. It’s the promotion’s 12th visit to Brazil and the first trip to Rio in 16 months.
