TUF 24 Finale: Tim Elliott moving up to bantamweight after cut to flyweight for Demetrious Johnson title fight ‘killed him’

Tim Elliott may have won over many new fans last night during his Flyweight title fight against Demetrious Johnson at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) Finale in Las Vegas, Nevada, after taking "Mighty Mouse" to the limit in a five-round affair (see it again here), but the days of him competing at 125 pounds could be over.

That’s because the former Titan FC Flyweight champion says he will likely move up to the Bantamweight division since his latest efforts to hit the 125 pound mark proved to be too much.

"I’d like to go up to (135 pounds)," Elliott declared during the post-fight presser (see it again here).
