Video: Let's all re-watch Darren Elkins' bonkers comeback win at UFC 209

Before we all put UFC 209 in the books and look ahead to the rest of the upcoming fight schedule, let’s take a final moment to remember one of Saturday’s most amazing feats.

In an FS1-televised preliminary-card bout at T-Mobile in Las Vegas, Darren Elkins (22-5 MMA, 12-4 UFC) was getting dominated by fellow featherweight Mirsad Bektic (11-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC).

Actually, “dominated” may not even be the right word. He was battered, he was mauled, and he was beaten into a bloody pulp. Elkins, who was the biggest underdog (+525) on the entire 11-bout lineup, was down 20-17 on all three scorecard heading into the final round.

Then Elkins did the unimaginable, the improbable, the downright ridiculous. Check out the highlights of his historic comeback – one that earned a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus – above. And check out some of the further details of his stunning third-round knockout win:
