Manchester – Fresh off his victory over Preston Parsons at UFC 304 welterweight Oban Elliot had quite a few things on his mind, but one of them a ton more fun than the others.
Elliot (11-2) had just won his second official UFC bout and was already thinking about what’s next, including walk out song, and maybe a friend to walk him out?
“If they give me the MSG card I might walk out to Hulk Hogan’s song. Or The Rock’s song. Or maybe I get CM Punk (to) walk out with me in MSG,” Elliot told reporters including Cageside Press at his post-fight scrum.
“I know he’d be up for that.”
The victory over Parsons makes it 7-in-a-row for ‘The Welsh Gangster’ with two of those being UFC victories.
“That’s no joke is it, and I’m fighting the best of the best. I’m happy with that. 7 wins in a row. Let’s make it 10, let’s make it 20, I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon. I just walked out there and I enjoyed myself tonight,” he told Cageside Press.
“I could go again.”
He seemed to be kidding, and then not kidding, but if Elliot has anything apart from fighting skill it’s a genuine sense of humor. When asked if he would fight again that night on a Alexander Volkanovski type of move Elliot did not disappoint.
“People say I look like Volk on the internet so why not,” Elliot laughed.
“With Bo Nickal’s head. Hey what? I look like that do I? I’m joking.”
