<p>Aussie Steve Erceg will have the opportunity to end a losing streak of three on Sunday (from 00:30 AEST) at UFC Fight Night when it takes place from the Las Vegas Apex Arena.</p> <p>He’ll have the chance to end his poor run of form against American Ode Osbourne, who recently ended his own streak of three consecutive losses with a victory in his last fight.</p> <h2>Steve Erceg vs Ode Osbourne: Tale of the Tape</h2> <p>How do the fighters match up? Erceg’s figures are first…</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Age - 30 vs 33</p> <p>Height - 5'8" (173cm) vs 5'7" (171cm)</p> <p>Weight - 125.0 lbs (56.7 kgs) vs 125.5 lbs (56.9 kgs)</p> <p>Reach - 68.5" (174cm) vs 73.0" (185cm)</p> <p>Stance - Orthodox vs Southpaw</p> <p>Record - 12-4-0 vs 13-8-0</p> <p>UFC Record - 3-3-0 vs 5-6-0</p> <h2>Steve Erceg vs Ode Osbourne: Betting Preview</h2> <p>Erceg’s three defeats have come against elite competition. He faced Alexandre Pantoja for a title shot, Kai Kara-France and Brandon Moreno. He is still touted as one of the best in the division, but some have suggested this is a must-win for him.</p> <p>Osbourne is a dangerous opponent known for his explosiveness, as evidenced by his KO victory in his fight against Luis Gurule. His unorthodox style makes him challenging, but his octagon form is inconsistent (2-4 in the last six).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Erceg’s Last Five Opponents:</p> <p>Brandon Moreno - Loss (UD, 5) - Mar 2025</p> <p>Kai Kara-France - Loss (TKO, 1) - Aug 2024</p> <p>Alexandre Pantoja - Loss (UD, 5) - May 2024</p> <p>Matt Schnell - Win (TKO, 2) - Mar 2024</p> <p>Alessandro Costa - Win (UD, 3) - Nov 2023</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Osbourne’s Last Five Opponents:</p> <p>Luis Gurule - Win (TKO, 2) - Apr 2025</p> <p>Ronaldo Rodríguez - Loss (UD, 3) - Sep 2024</p> <p>Jafel Filho - Loss (Sub, 1) - Mar 2024</p> <p>Asu Almabayev - Loss (Sub, 2) - Aug 2023</p> <p>Charles Johnson - Win (SD, 3) - Feb 2023</p> <h2>Steve Erceg vs Ode Osbourne: Betting Predictions</h2> <p>Ahead of the upcoming fight, the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/ufc-mma/ufc-matches/steve-erceg-v-ode-osbourne-9479107">Steve Erceg vs Ode Osbourne betting odds</a> have the Aussie as a heavy favourite.</p> <p>Erceg is liked because of his patience. He is a technical fighter with a strong wrestling base and above-average submission skills, so winning by submission could be worth a value bet.</p> <p>However, given the long odds ahead of the fight, Osbourne could be worth backing as the fight winner. Erceg is on a losing skid, while the American bounced back in his last. It’s a fight that some believe could see the “loser leave town”, adding more to the potential drama and stakes.</p> <p>If you want to back Osbourne, his power could flip the fight instantly, as he has a 5-inch reach edge. Osbourne to win by KO in rounds 1 or 2 provides plenty of value for an outcome that has a reasonable chance of occurring.</p>
