Luke Thomas exclusive interview | UFC flyweight Steve Erceg is coming off of a monster knockout over Matt Schnell and recently had UFC flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja suggesting Erceg could be next for a title fight.
In this interview with Erceg, Luke Thomas explores Erceg's style, why his boxing has been so effective as well as why those with boxing-centric games are doing well in MMA, whether he's ready for a title fight with Pantoja and so much more.

I know what Luke has said about not loving doing interviews but i hope to sse a future where they become a more integral part of his content and even the genreral promotional cycle. He is one of very few who are studious enough to cut through what is so often formulaic and repetative about fighter interviews and can reach discussion im sure so many fighters and viewers are hungry to explore

So have you and BC gone into hiding because you've been promising everyone imminent updates on the MK situation for a month and haven't delivered a single one? It's not even the fact that the relaunch is taking a while that's annoying. That's understandable. It's that you two are so damn cryptic about it, and if you have to be, at least tell us why. It's an internet MMA show, not a corporate merger. I highly doubt CBS's share prices are going to be affected by whatever happens to MK. If the whole goal was to have a surprise party one day, people are over it.

@tstrap4477 2 ай бұрын

Luke and BC are stand-up dudes. I'm sure they're keeping it hush for now because they need to not because they want to torture us and piss us off. It's annoying but we as fans need to be patient and hope for the best.
