DARREN ELKINS VS LUIZ EDUARDO GARAGORRI LOWDOWN
The war beaten Darren Elkins (24-9) put on his best run in the UFC which included his amazing comeback win over Mirsad Bektic, split decision over Dennis Bermudez and submission over Michael Johnson. However, the damage has taken its toll and after the current champ Alexander Volkanovski outclassed him snapping his six-fight win streak, he has slumped to four losses in a row thanks to Ricardo Lamas, Ryan Hall and Nate Landwehr.
Luiz Eduardo Garagorri (13-1) is coming off the first loss of his career which came a year ago against Ricardo Ramos who submitted him in the first round. The Uruguayan got his UFC career off to a great start by earning a unanimous decision against Humberto Bandenay but the holes in his takedown defence were exposed in his last fight.
DARREN ELKINS VS LUIZ EDUARDO GARAGORRI PREDICTION
All 22 of Elkins’ UFC fights combined with the fact he is preventing a five-fight skid mean he is likely to play it safe and try to take Garagorri down. He has dangerous jiu-jitsu but Elkins’ wrestling should be enough to subdue him for three rounds.
If the fight plays out on the feet you should back Garagorri who is an excellent striker but if Elkins suffocates him with his wrestling, we will see an uneventful decision.
Prediction: Elkins via Decision
