Sorry, didn't know who AstroBoy was! Washed as hell. 😂
how dare you not being a weeb xD
The inspiration behind mega man!
Super washed
Were we aware of the title fight during this interview? Godspeed Urceg, live dog May 4!
It's from before your time...
I think it predates Speed Racer
Luke loves talking to fighters whose faces look like different versions of Ryan Hall
That's hilarious
😂😂😂
😂😂😂 I don’t even know it that’s true but that’s damn sure funny
Luke would bang Ryan Hall
Hahaha 😂😂
Erceg has been feared and respecting on the nz and Australia scene for years
Now this guy is fighting for the strap. Incredible. Mokaev has to be kicking himself right now.
😂😂
Thanks for the laugh 👍
He has to learn to hold someone down and do damage, throw attires, elbows etc
Now he’s fighting for the title 🇦🇺🇦🇺🙏
Happy to see Steve get the love and attention he deserves
So glad Luke has picked up on this guy's potential. Hope we see these interviews throughout his career!
He prob knew that he was fighting for the belt
He's very articulate. Great interview.
Yesterday was such a nice day in Perth, glad to see Steve getting airtime here with Luke 🎉
Yo! Erceg is getting a title fight on May 4th! That would be insane if he could get that done.
Luke always interviews the fellow nerds
Good timing huh? Title fight announced like 2 seconds ago lol
bros getting the title shot at 301, craaaazy
&New
Nothing special about Pantoga. Huge possibility he wins.
@@MrMMA1985then why has beaten most of the top contenders multiple times
Apparently Erceg is getting a title shot now…what a world we live in lol
And now Erceg is booked to challenge Pantoja for the belt, what a storyline: fighting for the belt after 8 momths and 3 fights in the UFC
Great interview, felt like Steve definitely enjoyed the chat w luke
Man Steve was so awkward on the MMA Hour. You really got the best out of this interview Luke - great job and incredible timing on the release.
Awesome interview - thanks! As a Perth native, I had no idea about Steve until now. What a thoughtful and considered guy 👍🔥
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
Said he love to fight Pantoja as soon as possible, now that was AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Rooting for Steve !!
Good interview, seems like a really down to earth fighter.
Crazy they just announced his title fight too!
Comes across so professional.
Let’s go Erceg get that title 🇦🇺❤️
great questions. learned a lot about steve.
Shocked Luke hasn’t ever heard of the cartoon, AstroBoy
Yeah same here.....too much of a bookworm is my guess
What a killer, so excited for this guys career
Great interview!
He looks like Spleen from Mystery Men and I cant unsee it.
I love how he used the term "meta" it fits so perfectly in MMA an we've seen so much proof of it
Wow!!! I really enjoy listening to Australian Fighters and also like listening to LT interacting with intelligent People/Fighters.
Definitely a Blackbelt Interaction, great victory Brother but you didn’t include Sugar Sean O’Malley in your list of Top Boxers but your list was great tho, 👊🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
So great to see another great Aussie fighter on the way up, cheers Luke
He is headlining 301 for the belt. Good job luke
Erceg is the literal future of fighting. He does things that you previously thought were impossible. He's Neo from The Matrix. It's not a matter of if, but when in terms of all time greatness. This man will surpass Mighty Mouse mark my words.
Is this steve ercegs dad’s burner account?
Im here the day after erceg got KTFO 😂
@@boygonewhoopdataZZ I'm here to say I told you so. Erceg is the uncrowned CHAMP!
Awesome interview
He’s getting title shot congrats to him
Bro got what Mokaev couldn’t do in only 3 UFC fights
lessgooo erceg!! hope you win brother fan for life💯
Let's go Erceg. Legion 13 represent
I used to train with him heaps on Friday mornings no gi back in the day at legion it was full of savages lol good times
@mmaforever594 I never did. Was at legion 08 to 2011, great to see Erceg getting the spotlight.
Fantastic interview. Way to perfectly articulate your questions lol
Jose Aldo is one of his favourite fighter and now he is fighting for a title sharing the main card with José Aldo on 301! WHAT A CRAZY RIDE ASTRO BOY IS ON!!!
& they just announced he’s fighting for the title 3 mins ago on instagram hahahahah
Love Erceg. I do an annual review each Jan of the top 15 each division and Erceg I wrote for my new dog at 125lbs and then this performance… kiddo is a STUD! 🖖🥳
Well looks like Astroboy is getting his title shot. Let's go 🔥
Excited to see this guy fighting for the title
And new!!!!💪🏽💪🏽
that dude is electric
How does Luke not know who Astro boy is ? He’s literally one of the most popular comic book characters in the U.S 🤣
Dude was like, ughh yeah, I make reads during the round
"he can finish on your face, he can finish on your neck "
He's just like me fr
There are some interesting details here, it's a good interview with a rising Ozzie.
Erceg is a good dude 💯 ill be rooting for him at 301
Why does everyone with crisp boxing have to be crowned "best boxer in MMA?" We did this with Adrian Yanez and look how that turned out.
Hes like a more well-rounded Ryan Hall with good boxing.
Luke, these ads are out of control. It makes watching your content nearly unbearable.. which is a shame, because your content is A1.

He looks like Joe Gatto
Ufc just announced he's fighting pantoja for the belt in brazil,let's fkn go aussie 🇦🇺 🪃
And now he is fighting for the title.
Wooooooo 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Woòoooô
Fortune favours the brave and the uninjured. How huge does this maje erceg's win over schnell.
Gonna be fun to see him against Pantoja, but is it too early?
I think so. Erceg is really well rounded but pantoja is even more so with way more experience. Still, it's nice to see a new matchup and I'm happy erceg gets the opportunity
Can't wait to find out!
🐐🐐🐐
9:56 don't sell yourself short Erceg, I would pick you to beat JDM, EASY
Now the dude is fighting for the FlyW title
One day we need to see Astroboy vs Starboy
Just in time for his title shot I guess lmfao
I am hoping you beat Pantja.
Man i love the getting more content from luke but its a shame MK is dead.
dude did voodoo cuz all the cards fell in his favor for brazil
Bc said this week we would have an update.. no update yet playing games
I never said we’d have an update this week. But if you’d like to imagine we’re lying and stringing everyone along for some absurd purpose, by all means indulge whatever fictions you can cook up if it makes you feel better.
“I don’t know if you’ll get a title fight next” after he doesn’t even call for one.
Way to show your cards LT
Steve "Everything body loves Raymond " Erceg
Pretty sure this exact video was made of Yanez not too long ago 😂
Who knew Zizek had hands
Dustin Poirier Hold my Beer. 🍻🍻
💎🍻
who
He looks like Shane from Jimmy Neutron.
Does erceg know hes got the next title shot in this interview? 🤔
I can’t believe he doesn’t like cricket 😂
Jack Della is the best boxer
I like Steve etc eh but best boxer? Brother he knocked out chinny chin Matt schnell like😂😂 bro forgot about petr, Sean Strickland, Sean o malley, Dustin poirier, max holloway etc
Shteve Erceg
Coincidence...HMMM....
Respect to Pantoja for giving this guy a title shot I don’t think he’s fast enough to keep up with the top dogs we shall see
Best boxer in the UFC is Ilia Topuria. By a light year.
Add me to Steve's fan list
What is Luke smoking lately? Just had a look at one of Astroboy’s fights and was totally underwhelmed. It’s an early April Fool’s joke to call him the “best boxer”.
no
Best boxer in mma talk might be the single stupidest garbage I’ve heard in recent years.. I wonder who the best mmaer is in boxing?
The man has had 3 fights in the ufc and youre talking about best boxer in the ufc
3 fights...thats it. Either you guys are just full of it, or the ufc boxers are really, not that good.
Wtf. We aint got sht from you guys in days...
🇦🇺 🪃
No idea who he is
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.
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.
He don’t even know who he’s named after. wtf
Luke kissing his ass until he fights a Spanish fighter 🤣
Erceg sounds like a dude going through puberty. 😂
No he doesn’t. He just has a lisp. His voice isn’t cracking and going high and low lol
Haha no. Steve erceg is not the best boxer in the UFC
No he isn’t, Illia or Yan is. I’d go Yan
