Featherweights Darren Elkins, Ricardo Lamas to Clash in UFC Buenos Aires Co-Main Event

The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s inaugural trip to Argentina has a co-main event, as Darren Elkins and Ricard Lamas will square off in a featherweight showdown.

The Las Vegas-based promotion announced the pairing on Tuesday. UFC Fight Night 140 takes place at Parque Roca Arena in Buenos Aires on Nov. 17 and is headlined by a welterweight tilt between Santiago Ponzinibbio and Neil Magny. The card is expected to air on Fox Sports 1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

Elkins, 34, had a six-bout Octagon winning streak snapped in a unanimous decision loss to Alexander Volkanovski at UFC Fight Night 133 on July 14.
