Steve Erceg defeated Tim Elliott by unanimous decision in a flyweight bout on the main card of UFC Perth, marking the Australian's second consecutive victory.
The fight began with Tim Elliott employing numerous feints and stance switches. The veteran flyweight relied on counter-strikes, but Erceg landed with greater precision and power. Despite this, the 39-year-old Elliott managed to secure the round with two takedowns late in the frame.
In the second round, Erceg proved more accurate in exchanges and displayed better freshness inside the octagon, while grappling exchanges were evenly matched. In the third and final round, the former title challenger Erceg sealed his victory with even sharper striking and excellent takedown defense.
