Summary
Dan Tom expects referee intervention before Round 1 ends, picking Yadier del Valle to stop Darren Elkins on Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 284 main card in Las Vegas.
Del Valle enters as a heavy -750 favorite against Elkins at +490 after opening his UFC run with two first-round finishes, though Tom said the Cuban’s three-fight sample still leaves questions.
Elkins, 42, is fighting for the final time after a first-round TKO loss to Julian Erosa in April, following wins over TJ Brown and Daniel Pineda.
The bout is scheduled for about 9:10 p.m. ET at the UFC Apex and will stream live on Paramount+.
