Erceg can fight better but style suits Trump and White, analyst says

An analyst commented that Josh Erceg could fight more defensively to avoid taking excessive damage, but his aggressive image and showmanship require him to maintain that approach. While the brawling style worked against Curtis Blaydes, it could lead to knockout losses against Alex Pereira or Sergei Pavlovich. Despite the wild nature of the fight, the analyst noted Erceg's power remained consistent into the third round and praised his elbow work and takedown defense. The analyst observed that Erceg's behavior, while contradicting his coaches Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn's typical philosophy, perfectly aligns with Donald Trump and Dana White's preferences. For the White House event against Derrick Lewis, the analyst expressed concern that Erceg won't deviate from his brawling style but suggested Lewis might fight conservatively to collect a paycheck rather than pursue victory.
