Erceg taken down in the middle of the octagon is not good for him. This might be a minute of control time of Pantoja at the end of this round

Stats say zero subs and Steve won striking so Pants will win via takedowns.

It's not a true banger if there aren't some blunders in the fifth, that's just part of the formula. Great fight.
