Ricardo Lamas vs. Darren Elkins announced as UFC Buenos Aires co-main event

Two featherweights coming off losses will serve as the co-main event for the UFC’s first appearance in Argentina.

Officials announced on Tuesday that featherweight contenders Ricardo Lamas and Darren Elkins will square off in South America. The night’s six-fight main card airs live on Fox Sports 1 at 10 PM ET/7 PM PT.

Lamas (18-7) is on a two-fight losing streak for the first time in his career. After a stunning KO loss to Josh Emmett in December 2017, “The Bully” suffered a split decision defeat against Mirsad Bektic at UFC 225. The former title challenger’s last win was a first-round TKO of Jason Knight at UFC 214.
