Julian Erosa expects to finish Darren Elkins at UFC 314
Although Julian Erosa knows putting Darren Elkins away is tough, he is confident he will be able to get a finish.
Not only does Erosa think he can finish Elkins at UFC 314, but he thinks he can submit him.
“I have to be patient. In his last fight against Daniel Pineda, Daniel is known to have a good guillotine and wasn’t able to get him out of there with it,” Erosa said. “But, I know the details Darren did to prevent himself from getting guillotined, and I know how good mine is, and I do mine with my left arm. The last time he was submitted was in 2010, but that doesn’t mean I can submit him. He’s a tough guy, I don’t expect him to tap, so I expect him to go to sleep. But, I do think there is a higher percentage chance I knock him out than submit him.”
Should Erosa get his hand raised on Saturday, the goal is to get a ranked opponent next time out.
“I never really think about calling people out. I think if I get a win, especially if it is a high-level win, I think a top-15 guy would be my next fight,” Erosa concluded.
