Fighter on Fighter: Breaking down UFC TUF 24 Finale’s Tim Elliott

The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 24: "Tournament of Champions" winner, Tim Elliott, will throw down with divisional kingpin, Demetrious Johnson, this Saturday (Dec. 3, 2016) at TUF 24 Finale in "The Pearl" inside Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Elliott’s first run inside the Octagon didn’t exactly go as planned, but Elliott really did show his talent in several close losses to some of the division’s best fighters. His release was something of a surprise, and may thought he was dropped too soon. Since then, Elliott proved his supporters right. The wrestler won three straight bouts on the regional scene — capturing and defending the Titan FC belt — before winning four more bouts on TUF to earn his title shot.
