Career Overview
Tim Elliott
Tim Elliott is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the flyweight division of the UFC.
Born and raised in Kansas, Elliott began wrestling in grade school and developed into a decorated collegiate competitor, winning a state high school title before earning All-American honors and an NJCAA national wrestling championship at the University of Central Oklahoma. He transitioned to mixed martial arts in the late 2000s, building his early record on the regional circuit before signing with the UFC in 2012. He has trained out of Next Generation MMA under coach Chris Brennan.
Elliott's credentials extend beyond wrestling; he has also earned a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and won the Titan FC flyweight championship, successfully defending the title before moving on to the sport's biggest stage.
Inside the cage, Elliott is known as one of the flyweight division's most unorthodox and difficult stylistic puzzles. He fights at a relentless pace, mixing herky-jerky footwork and feints with live-wire scrambling on the mat, and he holds the UFC flyweight division record for takedowns landed and control time. That scrambling instinct has produced a deep and varied submission arsenal, including guillotine, arm-triangle, rear-naked and triangle chokes, making him a threat to finish a fight from almost any position.
Elliott's career highlights include a first-round knockout of former UFC lightweight champion Jens Pulver and a mounted guillotine submission victory over Japanese standout Kai Asakura. He also won season 24 of The Ultimate Fighter: Tournament of Champions, a run that earned him a UFC flyweight title opportunity against then-champion Demetrious Johnson
