Oh boy, here we go. So, there’s this flyweight clash that’s been stirring up some buzz. We’re talking Steve Erceg squaring off against Matt Schnell. And guess what? It’s been rescheduled. Yeah, you heard that right. They’re set to throw down at UFC Fight Night 238.
Now, the folks over in Las Vegas, where all the magic happens, made the announcement last Sunday. Originally, these two fighters were supposed to meet at UFC 295. But, as fate would have it, Schnell had to back out. No one’s saying why, though. It’s all hush-hush.
March 2 is the date to circle on your calendars. That’s when UFC Fight Night 238 is happening, right at the UFC Apex in Vegas. And it’s not just Erceg and Schnell on the card. We’ve got a heavyweight tussle between Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Shamil Gamziev. Plus, a flyweight scrap featuring Muhammad Mokaev and Alex Perez. The headliner? Still a mystery.
Despite the change in plans, Erceg didn’t just sit around at UFC 295. He faced Alessandro Costa and walked away with a unanimous decision win. This Aussie’s on a hot streak, winning 10 straight, including a notable victory over David Dvorak in his first UFC appearance at UFC 289.
Schnell’s story’s a bit different. He last stepped into the Octagon in December 2022, facing a tough knockout loss to Matheus Nicolau at UFC on ESPN 42. Since May 2021, “Danger” has had a rough go, clinching just one win in his last four UFC fights.
So, there you have it. A mix of triumphs, setbacks, and a whole lot of anticipation for what’s to come. UFC Fight Night 238 is shaping up to be quite the event. Can’t wait to see how it all unfolds.
