Damien Anderson (5-0 MMA) and Ezra Elliott (7-0 MMA) have been added as a late featherweight bout to this weekend's UFC Oklahoma City event. Anderson, 29, has finished four opponents by submission and one by knockout, with recent experience in Fury FC and Cage Fury FC. Elliott, 26, trains at The MMA Lab and Red Hawk Academy under Tim Welch — alongside Jared Cannonier and Sean O'Malley — and holds five submission wins and two KO/TKO victories. Both fighters are undefeated, making this a compelling all-American prospect matchup.
Two undefeated American prospects are set to collide at featherweight when Damien Anderson meets Ezra Elliott on the UFC Oklahoma City card this weekend.
Anderson, 29, arrives with a perfect 5-0 record built almost entirely on finishes. Four of his five wins have come by submission, with a knockout rounding out the tally. He has sharpened his game in regional competition, including stints with Fury FC and Cage Fury FC, and now steps into the Octagon without a blemish on his record.
Elliott, 26, is equally unblemished at 7-0 and carries his own finishing pedigree into the matchup. Five of his victories have come by submission, with two more via knockout or TKO. He trains out of The MMA Lab and Red Hawk Academy under coach Tim Welch, sharing a gym with established UFC names Jared Cannonier and Sean O'Malley — an environment that speaks to the level of preparation he brings to fight week.
Why it matters
- Both fighters are undefeated, so someone's zero will be lost on a UFC stage for the first time.
- The featherweight division at prospect level is competitive, and a strong performance could push either man toward ranked opposition.
- Both Anderson and Elliott are submission specialists, setting up a technically intriguing grappling-heavy contest.
- The late addition means limited preparation time, which could favor the fighter with the deeper coaching infrastructure.
