Steve Erceg bids to put himself back in the title frame in front of his Perth home crowd at UFC 305 as he takes on Kai Kara-France.

(Odds will display when the market is available)
Erceg's 11-fight win streak came to a holt when being narrowly out-pointed by Brazil's Alexandre Pantoja in Rio de Janeiro. Two judges gave Erceg two rounds, but the Australian couldn't win the crucial fifth and final round to take the title.
Despite suffering back-to-back defeats, Kara-France remains one of the UFC's top flyweights, and will also enter the title conversation with a convincing win on Saturday.
Kara-France was beaten to the interim title by Brandon Moreno, who in turn lost two straight fights, but anyone able to string a couple of wins together won't be far off a meeting with Pantoja.
