China Top Teams Chinese superstar, Zhang Tie Quan will be making his return to the Octagon against Darren Elkins this October.Another fight is coming up at the UFC 136 card. The event, headlined by two title fights (lightweights Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard and featherweights Jose Aldo vs. Kenny Florian), will mark the return of Zhang Tiequan to the octagon.
His coach at China Top Team, Ruy Menezes told us that his protégé is set to fight Darren Elkins at UFC 136, on October 8th.which is an interesting matchup for both fighters.
Zhang, who started his UFC career as a 1-1 lightweight in the WEC, will be entering his second UFC featherweight bout. "The Mongolian Wolf", who recently got married, was last seen in the Octagon back in february, a 48-second submission win over Jason Reinhardt.
The former URCC champion will be looking to make it two in a row against Elkins, who we last saw in a highly controversial decision against Michihiro Omigawa back in UFC 131.
This is an exciting match up with Elkins looking to prove his last win was legit and Tiequan looking to keep his win streak rolling this will surely be a action packed spectacle.
