ANALYSIS
Elkins last fought in November and defeated Eduardo Garagorri via submission (rear-naked choke) to snap a four-bout losing streak, and he'll attempt to string together a couple wins come July. Minner made his UFC debut last year and is 2-1 in the promotion, and he's coming off a victory over Charles Rosa via unanimous decision in February.

ANALYSIS
Elkins ate a solid left hand early, but it didn't phase "The Damage." He immediately went to the double-leg takedown and got Garagorri to the mat, dragging him right back down each time he got back to his feet. Elkins did eat a couple shots and narrowly avoided a few more power strikes, but racked up a ton of control time en route to winning Round 1. According to the telecast, Elkins was credited with a single-round featherweight record of five takedowns. Elkins went right back to the takedown in Round 2 and was largely effective, though Garagorri did land several power shots that opened him up whenever the fight was on the feet for an extended period of time. Elkins did manage to lift Garagorri off his feet and slam him to the mat for an exclamation point to finish Round 2. In the third, Elkins faced some adversity and ate a few massive shots, but he caught a Garagorri knee and used it to initiate another grappling exchange. He took Garagorri's back and made him carry his weight for a bit, but eventually locked in the choke that ended the fight. This was an absolute must-win for Elkins, who snapped a four-fight losing streak. The 36-year-old's days of being in the title picture are long over, but he's incredibly entertaining and is now a UFC record holder, securing more takedowns than anyone in the history of the featherweight division. He's also tied for the most appearances in the history of the weight class and said in his post fight interview that he'd like to get out there a few more times before thinking about retirement.

ANALYSIS
Elkins will be making his first appearance in the Octagon since mid-May when he lost to Nate Landwehr via unanimous decision, marking his fourth consecutive defeat. The rough patch has included tough losses to current champion Alexander Volkanovski and veteran Ricardo Lamas, though his back is seemingly against the wall at the age of 36. Elkins will hold slight height and reach advantages over a younger fighter in Garagorri, a Uruguayan prospect that is fresh off his very first professional loss to Ricardo Ramos last November. Six of Garagorri's 13 professional victories have been earned by way of submission, though Elkins has been submitted just once in 33 total pro fights. As usual, Elkins will look to make things ugly for the relative newcomer, using a high-volume attack with little regard for defense.

ANALYSIS
Elkins lived up to his nickname ("The Damage") in this one. Although this was a back-and-forth bout in which both men landed their fair share of shots, it was Elkins who emerged from the proceedings a bloody mess. It got so bad that referee Herb Dean had to call the doctor in late in Round 2 in order to make sure Elkins was fit to continue. In typical Elkins fashion, he survived to see the final bell, but Landwehr deserved this one. Elkins ripped off a shocking six-fight win streak from October 2015 to January 2018, but the 36-year-old has fallen on hard times since. Elkins has lost each of his last four fights.

ANALYSIS
Elkins needs a bounce-back fight after coming up short in his last three bouts, so the UFC will give him an opponent who has logged just one fight with the company. Landwehr, a former M-1 Global champion, was knocked out in the first round by Herbert Burns back in January. As for Elkins, he's a veteran brawler that is as tough as they come and typically a solid fantasy scorer, even in losses. He recorded 82 significant strikes and a takedown in a 2018 bout against current champion Alexander Volkanovski.
