UFC 305: Perth star Steve Erceg knocked out for first time in hometown by Kai Kara-France

West *********** Steve Erceg’s incredible start to his UFC career has against stalled after being knocked out for the first time in his career by New Zealander Kai Kara-France.

Only months after falling short of a fairytale win for the flyweight title, Erceg was knocked out with 56 seconds left in the first round to suffer consecutive losses for the first time in his career.

It was devastating for Erceg, who got the chance to ****** in front of his home fans for the first time in his career at UFC 305 at RAC Arena.

Kara-France (250-11)was on the backfoot early in the ******, but set up a beautiful step up left ***** that landed on Erceg’s ***** and dropped the rising star.

Erceg managed to get back to his feet, but was clearly rocked and Kara-France landed a big straight punch on the nose to once again send his opponent to the mat.

It was a second-consecutive defeat for Erceg who now has a 12-3 record and is in danger of slipping out of the top-10 flyweight rankings.

Erceg will now fall down the pecking order for a re-match against flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja, while Kara-France is a step closer.

More to come…
