Shines in decision victory
Elliott defeated Preston Parsons via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC 304 on Saturday in Manchester, England.
ANALYSIS
This was a far more impressive performance from Elliott than his unanimous decision win over Val Woodburn in his company debut this past February. Oban completely shut down the wrestling game of Parsons, which is no small feat in itself. He appeared comfortable in all phases of the fight, landing just enough offense while defending at an elite level. Still just 26 years of age, Elliott has had all sorts of success on the European regional scene and is now a perfect 2-0 with the UFC. He's a fighter to keep an eye on at 170 pounds.

To fight Parsons
Elliot is scheduled to fight against Preston Parsons at UFC 304 on Jul. 27, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Elliot will get his second UFC fight after defeating Val Woodburn by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) in February. The Wales middleweight will look to win back-to-back UFC matches taking on Parsons, who is coming off a victory himself, and has more experience as a UFC fighter with a 2-2 record.

Takes decision in UFC debut
Elliott defeated Val Woodburn via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC 298 on Saturday in Anaheim.
ANALYSIS
Making his official UFC debut on the heels of a hard-fought decision win on Dana White's Contender Series last August, Elliott found himself as a -380 favorite against an opponent in Woodburn also looking for his first win with the company. Outside of one very hairy early moment early on when Elliott got dropped by a Woodburn bomb, Oban was in control the entire way. That said, it didn't have the feel of a truly dominant performance. It would have been nice to see Elliott get a stoppage given the level of opposition he was going up against. Oban won't be 27 years of age until late-December, so time is clearly on his side.
