UFC 209 adds Mirsad Bektic vs. Darren Elkins, Todd Duffee vs. Mark Godbeer

The UFC’s March return to Las Vegas still needs a main event, but the card is starting to take shape.

UFC officials today announced the addition of featherweights Mirsad Bektic vs. Darren Elkins and heavyweights Todd Duffee vs. Mark Godbeer to UFC 209, which takes place March 4 at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.

Bektic is currently ranked No. 13 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA featherweight rankings, while Elkins checks in as an honorable mention.

The undefeated Bektic (11-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) was in action most recently at October’s UFC 204, where he scored an impressive first-round finish of Russell Doane. Previous Bektic UFC victims include Lucas Martins, Paul Redmond and Chas Skelly. Meanwhile, Elkins (21-5 MMA, 11-4 UFC) currently boasts a three-fight winning streak after scoring decision wins over Godofredo Castro, Skelly and Robert Whiteford.

Duffee (9-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) returns to action for the first time since a July 2015 loss to Frank Mir. Prior to the setback, Duffee had earned three consecutive wins over Anthony Hamilton, Philip De Fries and Neil Grove. Godbeer (11-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) made his UFC debut in November and was tapped out in the first round by Justin Ledet at UFC Fight Night 99.

With the additions to the card, UFC 209 currently includes:

• Mark Hunt vs. Alistair Overeem
• Mirsad Bektic vs. Darren Elkins
• Todd Duffee vs. Mark Godbeer
• David Teymur vs. Lando Vannata
