More than 14,000 fans packed the American Airlines Center in Dallas the last time Elias Theodorou stood face to face with another man, only the referee standing between them and pure chaos. With 53 seconds left in the second round of that fight, a featured prelim at UFC 185, the 27-year-old former The Ultimate Fighter winner overwhelmed poor Roger Narvaez with persistent ground-and-pound.
The win marked the 11th in his perfect professional career and third in the UFC's Octagon. With that record, Canada's dearth of native-born prospects and his model looks, it's a track record that could lead to big things in the future.
