UFC flyweight Tim Elliott has reacted to those suggesting he cheated against Tagir Ulanbekov at UFC 272. Earlier this month, former title challenger Tim Elliott went into his PPV bout against Tagir Ulanbekov as a notable underdog. The inconsistent results he’d accumulated throughout his UFC tenure had many wondering whether or not he’d be able to hang with Ulanbekov but in the end, Elliott pulled off the upset and secured a decision win.

Tim Elliott says he might have been fighting for his job at UFC 272. Elliott entered his bout against Tagir Ulanbekov as the betting underdog and many expected him to lose. However, he believes people were overhyping Ulanbekov due to his relationship with Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Tim Elliott is now in a place where he doesn’t have to take any fight that comes his way, and that is what happened when Su Mudaerji pulled out of their fight in June. After his opponent pulled out, Elliott was offered Manel Kape on short notice which he turned down as for him, he only wants ranked guys. He also says he’s in a position now where he is being smart about his career and not taking any fight that comes his way.

He was undefeated with ten straight wins until he ran into the undisputed king of Flyweight, Demetrious Johnson. Since then, Cejudo has coached season 24 of The Ultimate Fighter against Joseph Benavidez who he lost a very close fight to before now going on a two-fight win streak with big wins over Wilson Reis and Sergio Pettis.
