Tim Elliott
Career overview
Tim Elliott, a 37-year-old southpaw from the flyweight division, carries a 22-14-1 professional record marked by recent struggles, with just one win in his last eight UFC outings. Elliott's fighting style reflects a balanced grappling approach, averaging 3.61 takedowns per 15 minutes at 45% accuracy while defending takedowns at 59%, complemented by modest striking output of 3.51 strikes landed per minute with 43% accuracy.
His submission threat remains notable at 1.1 submissions per 15 minutes, a skill set he's demonstrated repeatedly in losses to elite competition. Recent performances have been largely unfavorable: he fell via submission to Muhammad Mokaev in October 2023, suffered a first-round submission loss to then-flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo in 2019, and dropped a unanimous decision to Matheus Nicolau in 2021.
His sole recent victory came against Jordan Espinosa via unanimous decision in March 2021. At this stage of his career, Elliott appears to be competing at or beyond the upper limits of his competitive window, facing increasingly difficult matchups against younger, hungry contenders in a deep flyweight division.
