Description
UFC 301: Pantoja vs. Erceg was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on May 4, 2024, at the Farmasi Arena, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Background
The event marked the promotion's 12th visit to Rio de Janeiro and first since UFC 283 in January 2023.

A UFC Flyweight Championship bout between current champion Alexandre Pantoja and Steve Erceg headlined the event.

Former WEC Featherweight Champion and two-time UFC Featherweight Champion José Aldo made his return in a bantamweight bout against Jonathan Martinez, after retiring in September 2022.

A lightweight bout between Ismael Bonfim and Vinc Pichel is expected to take place at the event. The pair was previously expected to meet at UFC Fight Night: Almeida vs. Lewis but the bout was scrapped after Bonfim missed weight.

A middleweight bout between Michel Pereira and Makhmud Muradov was expected to take place at the event. However, Muradov withdrew due to an infection. He was replaced by Ihor Potieria, who is also scheduled to compete against Sharabutdin Magomedov at UFC on ABC: Whittaker vs. Chimaev on June 22.

A featherweight bout between Jean Silva and William Gomis was scheduled for this event. However, the bout was eventually cancelled due to Gomis suffering a weight cut related illness.

During the event's broadcast, former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion (also the 2005 PRIDE Middleweight Grand Prix Champion) Maurício Rua was announced as the next "pioneer wing" UFC Hall of Fame inductee during June's International Fight Week festivities in Las Vegas. Rua was already a UFC Hall of Famer himself after a light heavyweight bout that took place in November 2011 at UFC 139 against the former PRIDE Welterweight, PRIDE Middleweight and former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Dan Henderson (also a former UFC Middleweight and Light Heavyweight title challenger) was inducted in the "fight wing" section as part of the 2018 class.
