Darren Elkins vs. Alexander Volkanovski
Breakdown
Darren Elkins vs. Alexander Volkanovsk
Volkanovski (17-1) is 4-0 in the UFC. The Aussie is very well-rounded, he has great cardio, powerful and accurate striking, and his ground-and-pound is brutal. I think this is a bad matchup for Elkins as Volkanovski should be able to outworks Elkins and wins a decision to emerge as a top-10 fighter in the UFC featherweight division.
