Tim Elliott News

Tom Taylor - February 8, 2017

The most recent season of the Ultimate Fighter was produced with the singular goal of creating a fresh challenger for increasingly dominant flyweight champion Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson. In the end, the winner of this season was UFC veteran and former Titan FC champ Tim Elliott. With this TUF win, Elliott was then pencilled in for a title fight against Mighty Mouse. And though very few people gave him much of a chance against the dominant flyweight king, he actually put up a remarkably good fight. In the end, however, Mighty Mouse walked away with a unanimous decision win, leaving Elliott’s title dreams momentarily dashed.

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.
