'Dream come true to fight worldwide' - UFC's Elliott

Welsh welterweight Oban Elliott says his "world has opened up" thanks to his professional mixed martial arts career.

The Merthyr Tydfil native takes on Jonathan Micallef in Perth, Australia on 27 September.

It is the first time he has fought in the country and there will be plenty of family in attendance despite fighting so far from his native Wales.

His brother Lloyd will corner him for the fight, while he will be reunited with his sister, an Australian resident, for the first time in nine years.
