A biography for Darren Elkinshasn’t been written yet.
“I'm still a blue-collar guy. I'm still the same guy - I'm never going to change.”
“Taking a short-notice fight, it's the strategy you don't get to work as much on.”
“I've had so many fights, and sometimes I just went from one to another one to another one and I never really go, 'I'm really going to enjoy this moment.'”
“I get in a lot of positions where I'm on people's back.”
“I've been competing at a top level and everything in wrestling since I was young.”
“I have other things I could be doing, I'm a union pipefitter so I have other things, other careers I can go into, but I just like the lifestyle of fighting.”
“I'll fight anybody. I'm not afraid.”
“I'm a grappler.”
“I actually think I do better around big crowds and when pressure is on me. I'm one of those types of guys.”
“If you see my fights, I'm always stitched up, cut up, bleeding - I'm embracing who I am.”
“Before I came out to Alpha Male, it was at the point I was starting to lose and I didn't think I was fighting that well and I was considering hanging it up. I was thinking maybe I didn't have it in me any more.”
