UFC 211: Chas Skelly says he dealt with a concussion before Elkins fight, but ‘needed the money’

Chas Skelly’s camp leading up to his March 2016 bout with Darren Elkins, which he would lose by decision, was a bit of a stinker. And it may have even cost him a win.

Adamant he has no excuses for coming up short, Skelly didn’t enter the Elkins bout with any major injuries. But he did, however, have to deal with lingering concussion issues during that camp, which put a halt to some of his training. And he subsequently felt under prepared going into UFC 196 last year.

“I couldn’t train,” Skelly told BloodyElbow.
