4. Darren Elkins vs. Lucas Martins
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siKsxwRKeps Weight Class: Featherweight Thirteenth ranked Darren Elkins (174) has a chance to edge back towards the top ten in a bout against Brazil's Lucas Martins (151) in the second fight of the night. Elkins is coming off a decision loss to Jeremy Stephens back in January, while Martins is getting a step up in competition here after going on a three-fight win streak after a loss in his short-notice UFC debut against Edson Barboza. Is Martins ready? That's a good question. He'll have the crowd behind him, but Elkins is far from a pushover. He's 6-2 in his last eight fights with losses to only Stephens and Chad Mendes. We're calling Elkins to take this one, by decision.
