"Less respect for my opponents [going forward], basically. There has to be a respect, but I think I was looking at them a little bit too much like, 'Oh, he must know something that I don't.' I just looked at them like they were on a pedestal."
"The more I experienced things, the more I realized they're just normal people, tough guys, and I'm one of those guys too."
Steve Erceg, after a challenging start in the UFC flyweight division, has learned to view his opponents as equals rather than elite fighters. Following a series of tough losses, he secured a win against Ode Osbourne and is set to face Tim Elliott. Erceg acknowledges that he previously placed his opponents on a pedestal, but now understands that they are just normal, tough individuals. This shift in mindset aims to enhance his performance in future fights.
