UFC 301 is live on TNT Sports this weekend, as Alexandre Pantoja has a homecoming fight in Rio de Janeiro. The UFC flyweight king faces rising Australian star Steve Erceg in the main event, making the second defence of his title. Elsewhere, Jose Aldo is back in action in his native Brazil, as Jonathan Martinez aims to pile on the misery and extend his own win streak to seven.

UFC returns to Brazil this weekend with Alexandre Pantoja defending his flyweight crown on home soil against Steve Erceg.
Pantoja first claimed the title at UFC 290 against Brandon Moreno, and has since gone the distance again to retain it with a win over Brandon Royval last December.
Pantoja now has a homecoming in Rio de Janeiro, aiming to improve on his 11-3 record in the UFC with a match-up against rapidly rising Australian Erceg, who comes into the bout off the back of a Performance of the Night when he knocked out Matt Schnell in March.
This marks the 12th numbered UFC event in Brazil, with four of the previous outings being headlined by Brazilian Jose Aldo - a man who also features this weekend.
The featherweight legend has lost his way in recent years, tasting defeat in four of his last seven fights, though all but one via decision.
He called it quits on his career in the interim, but has now unretired and returns to the octagon against Jonathan Martinez, who has won his last six on the bounce, albeit in Fight Night events in Las Vegas.
All the action from the UFC 301 prelims and main card will be live on TNT Sports and discovery+.
