UFC 301: Alexandre Pantoja vs. Steve Erceg - Full fight card details, start time, venue, how to watch and more

UFC returns to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for UFC 301 on May 4 with a stacked fight card featuring a flyweight title fight and the return of a legend.

Alexandre Pantoja, the reigning flyweight champion, will defend his belt against the surging Steve Erceg. Pantoja is on a five-fight win streak and looks to impress his hometown crowd with another title defense. Erceg, boasting an 11-fight win streak, presents a serious threat with his diverse skillset including knockout power and a knack for submissions.

The co-main event features a legend's farewell. Former featherweight champion Jose Aldo steps back into the Octagon for what he claims will be his final fight, facing the dangerous bantamweight contender Jonathan Martinez. Aldo, unranked in the bantamweight division, will look to reignite his magic against the No. 13-ranked Martinez, who is on a six-fight win streak.
