The battle between two skilled grapplers will be a serious test for the young Cuban prospect against the vastly experienced veteran. Del Valle will look to use his youth, speed, and judo skills to gain the upper hand in the takedown exchanges. Elkins will find it extremely difficult to impose his trademark exhausting pressure against a younger and more athletic opponent. Ultimately, Yadier should neutralize his opponent's attacks and earn a unanimous decision victory after three rounds.
