Oban “The Welsh Gangster” Elliott delivered a career-defining performance at UFC 309 in Madison Square Garden, earning a hard-fought victory against Bassil Hafez. The event, one of the UFC’s premier showcases, saw Elliott rise to the occasion on a high-profile card headlined by Jon Jones. Elliott’s victory was a testament to his grit and skill.
