Darren Elkins vs. Alex Volkanovski set for UFC Boise

One of featherweight’s most resilient contenders will meet a promising up-and-comer at UFC Boise.

Darren Elkins will put his remarkable six-fight win streak on the line when he takes on Australian prospect Alexander Volkanovski on July 14 at UFC Boise. Both fighters confirmed the booking Wednesday on social media.

Elkins (24-5) is in the midst of the best run of his eight-year Octagon career. Aided by a move to Team Alpha Male, the 33-year-old veteran has strung together six consecutive wins highlighted by a second-round submission of Michael Johnson and a legendary comeback over top prospect Mirsad Bektic.
