Elisha Ellison
Snack Panther
USA
Quickly finished in UFC debut
Ellison lost to Brando Pericic via KO (punches) at 1:55 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Perth, Australia.
ANALYSIS
Ellison was added to the UFC roster for this fight despite having all of six professional appearances under his belt -- all on the lower-level regional scene and all against lesser competition. He was overwhelmed in an instant by Pericic and absorbed the type of significant damage that may come back to haunt him down the line. It's exceedingly rare for a newcomer to ever be one-and-done with the company, but Ellison would appear to be a candidate following this performance.

Addeed to roster, booked for Perth
Ellison will take on Brando Pericic in a heavyweight matchup at UFC Perth on September 27, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Ellison is a 28-year-old prospect getting fast-tracked to the UFC with just six professional fights under his belt. The promotion most likely accelerated his debut in order to give Pericic, an Australia native and City Kickboxing product, an opponent for his hometown card. All five of Ellison's professional victories are via first-round stoppage, with most coming under the banner of ExciteFight, a highly-regional promotion. Per Tapology, Ellison is the No. 2 heavyweight prospect in the Pacific Northwest region.
