Another UFC Fight Night will take place on December 4th at Amway Center. In one of the preliminary card events, American featherweight Darren Elkins will fight featherweight, American Jonathan Pearce. The fight is planned for 03:00 UK time.
If Darren Elkins were to go into this fight in his peak form, it would be a very interesting fight. In the fight against Swanson he took a lot of damage. Pierce is just reaching his peak form and progressing with every fight. In my opinion, Pierce is better than Elkins in every aspect, and most likely he will beat his opponent.
The 38-year old American is already a veteran of the sport. Started his career in early 2007. Quite big age in the featherweight division. “The Damage” holds brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Starting from 2015, the american fighter trains at the “Team AIpha Male”. In his last 8 fights “The Damage” has 5 defeats and 3 wins. Darren Elkins is just like Jonathan Pierce, has a wrestling base on the university level. Darren defeated Tristan Connelly(by unanimous decision of the judges) in his last fight. Loss to Cobb Swanwon broke the “Damage’s” two winning streak, in which Elkins was stronger than Darrick Minner (won by knockout) in the second round, and Eduardo Garagorri (won by submission) by choking him in the third round.
He is a very versatile fighter, his progress is apparent in each fight, in his last fight he defeated a good grappler, he usually has no problems with cardio, he can both wrestle and hold the fight in a standing position. “JSP” begun wrestling at the age of 12, and has already 7 years of actives in mixed martial arts. Jonathan keeps purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and is averaging about 6 touchdowns per fight.
