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.

ANALYSIS
Hall is arguably the most unorthodox fighter in the UFC, making him an exceptionally poor matchup for a straight forward brawler such as Elkins. "The Damage" does his best work from in close and that's impossible against an opponent such as Hall who is constantly on his bicycle and rolling around on the mat. The 35-year-old Elkins was in the title picture at this time a year ago, but he has now lost three fights in a row in a span of 364 days. Elkins is one of the toughest men walking planet earth and one of the sport's most respected veterans, but the UFC needs to be careful regarding who they match him up against moving forward.

ANALYSIS
Elkins is coming off of two straight losses, but his relentless, brawling style has allowed him to put up respectable striking numbers in each. He landed 82 significant strikes against Alexander Volkanovski a year ago -- a significantly greater mark that Jose Aldo was able to land last weekend at UFC 237. He'll now focus his efforts on Hall, who is 3-0 in UFC with a recent victory via heel hook submission against B.J. Penn in the first round. Hall has just three UFC fights, but has absorbed just a combined 17 significant strikes over that span. Elkins should be able to change that, provided he can avoid the takedown. His career takedown defense rate is a mediocre 57 percent.
