After winning the 24th season of The Ultimate Fighter, mixed martial arts (MMA) journeyman Tim Elliott will make his return to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Octagon tonight (Sat., Dec. 3, 2016) at TUF 24 Finale live on FOX Sports 1 from inside Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, when he takes on current flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson. It will be the first time Elliott is fighting under UFC rule since losing a unanimous decision to Zach Makovsky back in early 2015.
Not too many fighters get the opportunity to fight for a UFC title after being released by the promotion earlier in their career.
