The only loss of Mirsad Bektic’s MMA career is one of the best things that has ever happened to him.
When Bektic met Darren Elkins at UFC 209, for 12 minutes the bout played out exactly how the majority of people had imagined, with the Bosnian prospect having his way with “The Damage” in every facet of the game. Yet, with less than two minutes left on the clock, Elkins clipped Bektic with an errant right hand that stopped him in his tracks.
The infamous win has become a fabled tale for perseverance and never giving up on oneself.
