UFC Flyweight Title Fight on Weight for TUF 24 Finale | MMAWeekly.com

Saturday’s UFC main event flyweight title fight is set after champion Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson and challenger Tim Elliott stepped on the scale in Las Vegas at Friday’s early morning official weigh-in.

Johnson, who weighed 124.5 pounds, is on a 10-fight winning streak, and has been nearly unstoppable at flyweight. He’s also widely considered the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

Running out of contenders, the UFC used season 24 of The Ultimate Fighter to bring flyweight champions together from around the globe to fight it out for a chance to challenge Johnson.

Elliott, the former Titan FC champion, won four fights on the show to make his way to the title fight. He’s not new to the UFC, however. He fought in the Octagon as recently as February 2015, exiting the promotion on a three-fight skid.

After hitting the championship mark of 125 pounds, Elliott will look to make up for his rough first run through the promotion by upsetting the top flyweight in the world.

The co-main event features a bitter battle between top flyweight contenders Joseph Benavidez and Henry Cejudo, who coached the other flyweights on The Ultimate Fighter.
