Evan Elder Says His Pace Caused Darrius Flowers to ‘Wilt,’ Wants to Get Active

After nearly a one-year lay-off where fight offers were not coming his way, Evan Elder (9-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) wants at least a few more fights before his 28th birthday in April after he finished Darrius Flowers (12-8-1 MMA, 0-3 UFC) on July 13.

Elder said he is happy to have gotten back to work and that he can’t wait to fight again. On a scale of one to 10, Elder rates his performance over Flowers a 7. “The Phenom” submitted Flowers with an arm triangle choke 1:46 into the second round after a torrent first round in a fight Elder took on four days’ notice at high altitude in Denver, Colorado.
