Newly minted top-15 UFC middleweight Elias Theodorou (14-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) had quite the reason to celebrate this past week when he cracked the rankings, proving himself as one of the best current 185-pound fighters on the planet.
“I’m really excited and plan to keep pushing on through,” Theodorou told MMASucka.com. “I want to earn it. I deserve my ranking, and I plan on proving it.”
He’ll get the chance to do so on July 7 when he’ll put his top-15 status on the line opposite Brad Tavares at The Ultimate Fighter 25 Finale in Las Vegas.
