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.

The UFC is expected to return our screens on May 30, but so far, very few fights have been confirmed for the event. That’s finally started to change.

Former flyweight title challenger and Olympic gold medalist, Henry Cejudo has made it very clear who he wants to fight next. That person being a fellow former title challenger at 125, The Ultimate Fighter season 24 winner, Tim Elliott. When participating on that season of TUF, Elliott was on opposite teams as he was coached by Joseph Benavidez who coached against Cejudo and his squad. Cejudo says if there’s one person he didn’t really like during that time coaching TUF, it was definitely Elliott:

Drake Riggs - February 6, 2018

How many Olympic gold medalist UFC fighters can you name…? If you said, “there’s only one” or “Henry Cejudo” then both answers would be correct. Since he won his gold medal for men’s wrestling and transitioned into MMA, Cejudo has gone 12-2. 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.
