Overview

• Erceg’s original opponent Alex Perez withdrew with a fracture and Hyun Sung Park was moved to headline UFC Vegas 108 before Ode Osbourne stepped in on short notice.
• The bout was shifted from flyweight to bantamweight after Osbourne lacked time to cut weight, allowing Erceg to weigh roughly 4.5 kg heavier and include carbs in his meals.
• Since challenging Alexandre Pantoja for the flyweight title in May 2024, Erceg has lost three straight fights, including a knockout by Kai Kara-France and a decision to Brandon Moreno.
• Erceg acknowledged he could be fighting for his UFC contract and said delivering a win is more important than any particular performance style.
• Betting markets list Erceg as a heavy favorite at around –600 to –575, implying about an 80 percent chance of victory despite his recent skid.
