This should be a solid litmus test for Elliott. “The Welsh Gangster” was most notable for his charisma when he earned a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2023, as he put together an unspectacular and workmanlike decision victory. That about sums up Elliott inside the cage. He’s not a dynamic athlete but has plenty of grit and cardio, and he usually does an impressive job of fighting behind either a range striking game or a grimy wrestling attack as the matchup allows. After Elliott successfully turned back Valentine Woodburn in his UFC debut in February, Parsons steps up as the next test to see exactly how far the Shore MMA rep can take his approach. Parsons can do a little bit of everything with some consistent aggression, but he does his best work through wrestling and grappling; and while that usually winds up with Parsons tiring himself out in the process, he does a solid job of fighting through that exhaustion to try and get a win over the finish line. Elliott might succeed in tiring him out and turning the fight around late, but Parsons should be able to win two rounds. It’s also hard to see Elliott pouring on enough late offense to score a finish. Beyond that, Parsons might be able to end this fight himself if he can effectively swamp Elliott out of the gate. The pick is Parsons via second-round submission.
