LAS VEGAS – All Tim Elliott cares about at this stage of his career is that he keeps fighting, specifically for the UFC. As long as that happens, he’s a happy man.
Seven weeks removed from his last fight, a loss to Muhammad Mokaev at UFC 294, Elliott (20-13-1 MMA, 9-11 UFC) was back in the octagon Saturday night at the UFC Apex. Elliott was up against Su Mudaerji on five days’ notice, and he handled his business with a first-round arm-triangle submission win in their bantamweight bout that also earned him a Performance of the Night bonus.
Not bad for a guy who hadn’t spent much time in the gym since late October.
