There aren’t many guys near the top of the flyweight division right now, so if Dodson is injured he may be better off recovering and fighting the loser of the upcoming Demetrious Johnson-Ian McCall fight. If Elliot is able to keep fighting like he did against Dodson, he could be a future contender in the newly created flyweight division. While he threw a variety of exciting techniques, including a couple of cartwheel kicks and spinning backfists, Elliot was unable to land anything significant for the first few rounds and it ended up losing him the fight. The last round was a rough five minutes for Dodson, but he toughed it out despite an injured left hand and won the fight.Įlliot was a sizable underdog going into this one, but he proved he belonged in the same cage as one of the best flyweights in the UFC. The winner of TUF 14 looked like a title contender for the majority of the bout against Elliot.ĭodson worked his counter striking to keep Elliot at bay and used his takedown defense just as well, keeping the fight where he wanted it. The fight was one of the most fun that fans will get to see all night, and it proved the flyweight division is one of the most exciting in MMA. Both men put on a show for the fans, throwing a ton of crazy strikes and fighting at an absolutely grueling pace, but it was Dodson that was able to counter strike and use Elliot’s aggressiveness against him. Absolutely no disrespect for Tim Elliott (he is a fantastic fighter), but Demetrious Mighty Mouse Johnson should toy with him this week.
