Arizona based fighter ezra__elliott is officially 1-0 in the UFC and he made history in his debut. 🥊🌵

Elliott defeated fellow undefeated newcomer bjjdamien by unanimous decision Saturday night in Oklahoma City, improving his professional record to 8-0. Both fighters entered the matchup unbeaten, with every previous victory coming by knockout or submission.

But Elliott didn’t just leave with the win. He landed 12 of his 18 takedown attempts, setting a new UFC record for the most takedowns by a fighter making their featherweight debut.

The 26-year-old built his undefeated record fighting across Arizona and trains locally at themmalab under timwelchmt alongside sugasean. He also represents redhawkacademyaz. After stepping in against another perfect prospect, Elliott controlled the fight and officially put Arizona’s MMA scene on a much larger stage.

From an undefeated prospect to a record-setting UFC debut — how far do you think ezra__elliott can go?
