"“I have watching and looking up posts of who people think I should fight,” Erceg told heavywgtMMA. “Two that were brought up were Amir Albazi and Brandon Royval. I think they are both coming off losses but they are ranked ahead of me. So I think it would be a good time to meet either one of them. They are obviously two very different fighters. Meet up and let's have a crash.”"
"Erceg is coming off a unanimous decision win over Tim Elliott at UFC Perth earlier this month. “Astro Boy” has been watching suggestions about his next potential opponents. Amir Albazi and Brandon Royval are two of the most suggested names for Erceg, which makes sense to the Australian. Erceg notes that Albazi and Royval are two stylistically different matchups but he is willing to face either."
"Erceg (14-4) went on a three-fight slump starting with his failed title bid against Alexandre Pantoja in 2024. While Erceg rebounded with a win over Ode Osbourne last year, it wasn't a satisfactory performance for the Australian. Erceg finally had some “relief” after putting on a striking masterclass en route to a unanimous decision win over Elliott at UFC Perth."
"Meanwhile, both Albazi (17-3) and Royval (17-9) are coming off back to back losses. While Albazi has dropped two straight against Brandon Moreno and Kyoji Horiguchi, Royval is coming off losses against Joshua Van and Manel Kape."
Erceg is preparing for his next fight after a unanimous decision win over Tim Elliott at UFC Perth. He has been monitoring suggestions about potential opponents and has identified Amir Albazi and Brandon Royval as two frequently mentioned names. Erceg believes both fighters are ranked ahead of him and are coming off losses, which he views as a good time to meet either one. He acknowledges that Albazi and Royval present very different stylistic matchups, but he is willing to face either. Erceg previously experienced a three-fight slump after a failed title bid against Alexandre Pantoja in 2024, followed by a win over Ode Osbourne and then a stronger performance against Elliott.
