Mixed martial arts career

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Elkins made his UFC debut on the preliminary card of UFC on Versus: Vera vs. Jones, where he defeated Duane Ludwig. Elkins defeated Ludwig via TKO after Ludwig suffered a serious ankle injury during the first round.

His next bout took place on the preliminary card of UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko against Charles Oliveira.[1] Elkins took Oliveira down early, but then suffered a triangle choke attempt from his opponent. Oliveira then transitioned to an armbar, which forced Elkins to submit.

Elkins was expected to face touted prospect Edson Barboza on November 20, 2010 at UFC 123,[2] but Elkins was forced from the card with an injury and replaced by Mike Lullo.

Elkins defeated world ranked featherweight Michihiro Omigawa on June 11, 2011 at UFC 131 via unanimous decision.[3]

Elkins won a unanimous decision over Zhang Tie Quan on October 8, 2011 at UFC 136.[4]
