Tim Elliott to move to bantamweight after loss to Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson
Tom Taylor - December 4, 2016
When Tim Elliott won season 24 of The Ultimate Fighter, it earned him not only a new UFC contract, but also the opportunity to battle dominant flyweight champion Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson. Given the fact that Johnson has already dispatched most of the flyweight division’s top fighters – some of them more than once – Elliott was given little chance in this rather untraditional title fight. Amazingly, however, he was able to give the champ a few scares, dropping him with a punch and threatening with a guillotine in their bout’s first round. In the end, of course, Mighty Mouse would retain his title, walking away with a unanimous decision win. Yet even in defeat, Elliott proved that he absolutely deserves to be a part of the UFC flyweight roster.
