The Ultimate Fighter 24 winner and one-time title challenger Tim Elliott will go head-to-head with Justin Scoggins on Dec. 16 at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the UFC announced Thursday.
This will be the third appearance in 2017 for Elliott (14-8-1). The 30-year-old grappling specialist returned to the UFC last December, earning a title shot against Demetrious Johnson after winning the TUF 24 “Tournament of Champions”. Elliott would go on to lose a competitive five-round decision, and he is 1-1 since with a unanimous decision win over Louis Smolka followed by a 49-second submission loss to Ben Nguyen.
