Oban Elliott fought his way up through Cage Warriors in Wales before winning a UFC contract on the Contender Series in 2023. He opened his UFC run with three straight wins in 2024, capping the year with a third-round knockout of Bassil Hafez at Madison Square Garden. Since then the wheels have wobbled: a shutout decision loss to debuting Seokhyeon Ko in Baku, then a submission loss to Jonathan Micallef in January. Known for relentless pace and toughness, he arrives in Belgrade badly needing to stop a two-fight skid.
