Fresh off of a split decision victory over the former UFC light heavyweight champion, Rashad Evans at UFC 209, Kelly is headed to UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Hunt in Auckland, New Zealand on June 10 to face the #8 Derek Brunson. Before heading into battle, Kelly caught up with Bloody Elbow to discuss why he constantly sports an underdog tag, Ronda Rousey’s fall from grace, and plans of dispatching Brunson inside of the distance.
