Darren Elkins discloses a slew of serious injuries sustained at UFC Orlando

What’s the toughest substance on planet earth? Diamond you say? Wrong! The correct answer is longtime UFC veteran Darren Elkins. This unbelievably durable gentleman lived up to his nickname “The Damage” last weekend at UFC Orlando when he sustained several leg injuries in a unanimous decision loss to Jonathan Pearce. Elkins recently posted a photo on social media with him in a wheelchair while on vacation on the Turks and Caicos Islands, with the caption explaining the various injuries.

Elkins stated that he tore his meniscus, and tore his MCL when he snagged his first takedown against JSP.
