Fil-Am TJ Brown set for huge UFC Fight Night match

This is the last fight of TJ Brown's his current UFC contract, and the Filipino-American needs to not only win, but win convincingly so he could earn another deal. MANILA, Philippines – When TJ Brown and Darren Elkins take to the Octagon for the final match of the preliminary card of UFC Fight Night: Yusuff vs Barboza on Sunday, October 15, there will be an air of urgency if not desperation.

“I need to make a statement in this fight,” bared Brown. “Darren is an OG. I have a lot of respect for him, but it is my job to put him away. He is a dog — super tough and gritty — but you can say the same thing about me; except I am a younger version of him.” One thing that has lifted up Brown is reconnected with his Filipino father who he only met last year.

The Elkins-Brown match will be televised live this coming Sunday, October 15, on the Premier Sports channel on Skycable and Cignal as well as the TapGo TV streaming application.
