Tim 'Awkward' Elliott is a TUF 24 winner and long-tenured flyweight known for a scrambling, high-pace grappling style built on wrestling and opportunistic chokes. He finished Kai Asakura with a second-round guillotine in August 2025 before being outpointed by Steve Erceg in his most recent outing. Now in his late 30s, he remains one of the division's most durable veterans and a live threat any time a fight hits the mat.
