Elliott to face Brahimaj at UFC Fight Night

Oban Elliott earned praise after his win over Bassil Hafez last time out

Oban Elliott will face American Ramiz Brahimaj in a welterweight contest on 31 May in Las Vegas.

The Welshman will appear on the undercard of Erin Blanchfield's flyweight fight against Maycee Barber at the UFC Apex venue.

Elliott is aiming to continue his undefeated start to his UFC career following a third-round knockout of Bassil Hafez last November.

The 27-year-old will be hoping to replicate that highlight-reel knockout, where his post-fight interview at Madison Square Garden gained him plenty of new fans.

Elliott's opponent Brahimaj, 32, has had a disappointing start to his own UFC career, with an even 3-3 record, although that included an impressive first-round knockout against Mickey Gall in his last outing.

Brahimaj has 11 wins and five losses in total on his MMA record, while Elliott has 12 victories and two defeats, having not lost since 2021.
