Late Addition: Featherweight Fight Between Anderson and Elliott
Damien Anderson (5‑0) meets Ezra Elliott (7‑0) in a featherweight contest that was added late to the undercard. Anderson, a 29‑year‑old Texas fighter, has compiled all his MMA victories by stoppage and spent most of his career with Fury FC, where he also built a notable grappling résumé, including a UFC Fight Pass Invitational appearance in 2024. His most recent win came via a kneebar submission over Hondo Gutierrez at CFFC 150.
Elliott, 26, hails from Arizona and trains at the MMA Lab, where he has developed a reputation for finishing opponents quickly. All seven of his career victories have also ended by stoppage, with his latest success coming against Ashtin Canigla at RUF 68 in May. Both prospects enter the fight undefeated, making the featherweight clash a promising showcase for upward‑moving talents.
The fight announcement was first reported by Marcel Dorff, who broke the news on social media. The late addition of this featherweight bout adds another layer of excitement to UFC Oklahoma City, giving fans more reasons to tune in as the promotion prepares for a filled‑out card at the Paycom Center.
