Diego Brandao, winner of The Ultimate Fighter's 14th season, failed to follow up on his December TUF Finale win on Saturday night, as he dropped a decision to Darren Elkins at UFC 146.
Brandao started very strongly, beating Elkins up for the entirety of the first round. The assault included a vicious flying knee and some excellent ground and pound, but Elkins survived the onslaught to make it out of the frame.
From there, Elkins' takedowns and top game were the story, as Brandao was drained from his first round attack and could only try to defend from his back for much of the next ten minutes. Ultimately, Elkins won both the second and third, and handed Brandao his first UFC loss. Elkins himself is now undefeated in the UFC's featherweight division, with this serving as his third straight submission win since dropping from lightweight.
