Tim Elliott is set to return to the Octagon at UFC Fight Night 161 this Saturday for the first time since December 2017.
Since his win over Mark De La Rosa at UFC 219, he has been recovering from a serious knee injury after tearing his ACL, MCL, LCL and meniscus. After a long recovery process, Elliott (15-8-1) will make the walk against an opponent he wanted.
"This is a fight I went after. As soon as [Figueiredo] fought Pantoja I messaged my manager for it," Elliott told Sherdog.
