The fight served as a window into one man’s soul.
Darren Elkins withstood a horrific beating for the better part of 10 minutes before rallying to stop American Top Team prospect Mirsad Bektic with third-round punches at UFC 209 “Woodley vs. Thompson 2” on Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. A whopping +520 underdog according to BetDSI.com, Elkins brought it to a dramatic close 3:19 into Round 3.
Bektic (-759) assaulted the Team Alpha Male rep throughout the first round, as the beating he administered became increasingly uncomfortable to watch.
