Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Prior to facing UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson last December, Tim Elliott found himself in weight-cutting hell. On his way to winning “The Ultimate Fighter 24,” which earned him a title shot against “Mighty Mouse,” Elliott made 125 pounds in four consecutive Wednesdays, which he described as a brutal experience. Afterward, he said he ballooned up to a “gelatinous” 164 pounds before starting the “worst weight cut I’ve ever had by far” ahead of losing a unanimous decision to Johnson at the “TUF 24” Finale. Now, as he gets set to face Louis Smolka at UFC on FOX 24, Elliott is grateful for the way he feels physically and only wishes it was like this ahead of his title shot.
