SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Ryan Hall beat Darren Elkins with a unanimous decision Saturday night on the preliminary card at UFC on ESPN+ 13 in Sacramento, Calif.
Take a look inside the fight with Hall, who stayed unbeaten in the UFC with the win.
Result: Ryan Hall def. Darren Elkins via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27)
Updated records: Hall (8-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC), Darren Elkins (24-8 MMA, 14-7 UFC)
Key stat: After a six-fight winning streak that came after he moved to Team Alpha Male, Elkins has dropped three straight – the first losing skid of his career.
“Darren’s super tough. When I dropped him in the first, I was going to use the guillotine to get to something else. It had a bit more bite than I thought, so I stuck with it. I think with about 10 more seconds in the round, it would have been game over. Darren’s just tough as nails. Getting him out of there is not easy.”
“You try to be as tricky as possible to deal with. My striking has really come along. I’ve cleanly outstruck every opponent I’ve fought. I don’t know why the narrative is different. Nobody wants to grapple with me, but we’ll see what happens when that changes.”
“Darren’s been in the top 10 or 15 for some time. He’s an unbelievably tough fighter. There’s a card in (Washington) D.C. at the end of the year that’s about five minutes away from my house. I’d be excited to be on that and I’d love to fight someone in the top 10.”
