Australian Steve Erceg hopes the unusual move of training in a car park at night will have him primed for success when he faces Brazilian Alexandre Pantoja for the UFC flyweight belt in Rio de Janeiro this weekend.
Erceg is just three fights into his UFC career, but his stunning performances over the past year means he is now just one win away from becoming a world champion.
The odds are well and truly stacked against Erceg on Saturday night (Sunday EST).
Not only will the 27-year-old be taking on the best UFC flyweight in the world, he will also be greeted by a parochial crowd chanting 'uh vai morrer', which translates to 'you're going to die'.

'For every single UFC event in Brazil when you see the foreigners walk out against a Brazilian, they're getting yelled at like that,' Erceg said from his base in Brazil.
