Oban Elliott: Welsh welterweight cried when he read email offering UFC shot

Welsh welterweight Oban Elliott says he "burst out crying" upon learning he had a fight on Dana White's Contender Series.

Richard Shore, one of his coaches, had teased him that he was buying him fake tan when he showed Elliott the email.

Elliott will fight Brazil's Kaik Brito on 22 August in Las Vegas, USA, with a shot at an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) contract on the line.
