New York – UFC welterweight Oban Elliott thinks he’s ready for a spot on a main card coming off a victory over Bassil Hafez at UFC 309 on Saturday night.
“I think so. Hey sky’s the limit here bro. I’m just going to keep going and keep going and I’m going to keep getting better every fight,” Elliott told reporters including Cageside Press at his post-fight scrum.
“Every time you do that walk, that weight cut, you improve as a man. I just fought a good guy that everyone was loving that Bassil Hafez.”
Elliott (12-2) finished Hafez by knockout in round 3 over a guy who took a short notice fight against Jack Della Maddalena and came close to beating him.
“He could have easily beat that Jack Della, and he’s #4 in the world, so look what I just did to him. Big respect to Bassil, but we’re still just scratching the surface. I’ve got a mental career planned out here and it’s just slowly starting to unfold in front of everybody else,” he said.
So after scoring a knockout at the Mecca of sports in MSG what exactly was on Elliott’s mind?
“We’re going to have to see where Monday Night RAW is on Monday. Or Smackdown,” said Elliott.
“We’re going to have to keep it rolling while I’m over here in the states.”
