Darren Elkins buried on Fight Night prelims

Probably has to do with his strategy of blocking his opponent's punches with his face and getting beat within an inch of his life to tire out the other fighter and pull a victory out of his ass at the end

Sounds pretty entertaining to me. Isn't that what the UFC wants, entertainment?
 
I think the terrible chest tat is holding him back. Hard to promote.

Poor guy. Not only is he probably going to be beaten to a pulp by Volkanovski on Saturday (honestly, Elkins deserved a guy within the Top 5-10 range after winning his 6th straight fight, including the last 3 against very solid guys in Betkic, Bermudez, and Johnson)....but he's being put on the 2nd to last fight of the prelims. How the hell is Wineland vs Perez more deserving of the top prelim spot?

As for the main card, you knew Cigano, as a former HW champ would get top billing, and Sage would get co-main due to his popularity, Cat would be on the main card because she's hot, and the return of a former #1 contender in Mendes is also main card worthy, but Price vs Brown? Bermudez vs Glenn? Come on man, at least give the guy a little spotlight and respect before he's banished back to the Fight Pass prelims.

That being said, if The Damage pulls off a win against Volkanovski, he deserves a #1 contender fight. Yes, seriously.

Couldn't agree more. Darren should be fighting Frankie or someone like that. Perhaps Frankie is just one notch above him, but that's the point - Elkins has earned opportunities.
 
How long can you deny him opportunities? When he beats volkanovski in one way shape or form they can't deny him anymore... You can't keep giving a guy $90,000 after his win bonus and not think about pushing him a little bit more

UFC used to love and market he shit out of Forest and boner for that ability.
 
Why the fuck bums like sage and randy borwn are above him vs volkanovski ?
 
It's pretty obvious, UFC will never give Elkins a TS.

If he wins that fight UFC probably give him other prospect in prelims
 
There's such little upside for such a dangerous opponent.

Elkins being positioned to boost others.
 
Poor guy... the best win streak ever for a gatekeeper... Dude should be top 5.
 
Yup its bullshit and they bury Dan Hooker too.


WTF
 
Elkins is great, the fight against Volkanovski should get a tv spot honestly.
