    Eternal MMA 62 – Steve Erceg submits Paul Loga to defend flyweight title

    Stephen ‘Astroboy’ Erceg made it 7 wins in a row on Saturday night with a victory against Paul Loga to successfully defend his Eternal MMA flyweight championship.

    The bout headlined Eternal 62 which took place at HBF Stadium in Perth, Western Australia, with the main card broadcast live on UFC Fight Pass.

    Erceg, a product from the Wilkes Martial Arts academy, had the hometown support on his side against Loga who was travelling from Sasson MMA in Queensland. The two had met back in May, 2019 with Erceg claiming a first-round TKO victory back then.

    Loga has won back-to-back fights to earn his way back to title contention but the bout again finished in the first round, with Erceg wrapping up a tight mounted guillotine to earn the tap, only 2:31 into the bout.

    Loga came forward but was countered by Erceg that sent him forward off balance. Erceg capitalised by wrapping up the neck. Loga desperately tried to escape however was countered by Erceg who forced the tap after securing the mount and squeezing it tightly.

    “I threw the right hand. I don’t know if it hurt him or not. He did slip and I like the guillotine,” Erceg comments in his post-fight speech before calling for his spot in the UFC.

    “Call Dana [White] now. I think I’m ready for those guys. Let’s go.”

    A mounted guillotine also finished the semi-main event with Quillan Salkilld earning his first professional victory with a first-round submission over Nicko Flessas

    Started Martial Arts training after watching Mr Miyagi and Daniel-son in Karate Kid back in 1987. By the time MMA arrived many years later, I was hooked. Coverage of local MMA was via scarce posts on forums like the Underground and Sherdog. I embarked on covering the sport in 2002 and since then have written thousands of articles for both print and online media, before branching out and starting Fight News Australia in 2010. Outside the site, I dream of riding in an F1 car or a Jet Fighter. Anyone have a spare one lying around?
