Tim Elliott earned his shot at flyweight glory at The Ultimate Fighter 24 Finale, but he came up short Saturday in his attempt at dethroning the best pound-for-pound fighter.
Demetrious Johnson retained his championship by unanimous decision. It was his ninth defense, just one shy of Anderson Silva’s UFC record.
Also in action, TUF coaches and flyweight contenders Joseph Benavidez and Henry Cejudo went to war, and Benavidez edged out Cejudo. In addition, Sara McMann defeated a returning Alexis Davis to inch closer to being a top contender at 135 pounds.
Who’s next for all these athletes? That’s what we’ll look at in the aftermath of the latest TUF finale.
