Last week, it was confirmed by Combate that flyweight contenders<\/a> Tim Elliott and Deiveson Figueiredo will be going head-to-head at UFC San Francisco on October 21.<\/p>\n

Figueiredo is riding high since picking up a unanimous decision win over Alexandre Pantoja at UFC 240. It was a solid performance, but you can’t please everyone. His future opponent, Tim Elliott, was not overly impressed.<\/p>\n

“Love the matchup,” Elliott told BJPenn.com when asked about the booking. “I have fought 3 guys with very similar styles to him. I am doing all my training at the UFC performance institute, strength, diet, everything. I thought his Pantoja fight was decent, [but] they both kinda looked slow and sloppy in my opinion”.<\/p>\n

The former title challenger Tim Elliott has fought some of the speediest and most versatile fighters in the division, including the former champ Demetrious Johnson. Due to a torn ACL injury, Elliott hasn’t fought since 2017 when he beat Mark De La Rosa with an anaconda choke. When asked about feeling rusty, he responded:<\/p>\n

“No concern about rust. I am concerned with my knee, but I will be good in 9 weeks.”<\/p>\n

When the cage door closes on Tim Elliott and Deiveson Figueiredo, the end result could easily be a Fight of the Night winning scrap.<\/p>\n

UFC San Francisco will be headlined by a strawweight scrap between former champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk and long-time contender Michelle Waterson. The card is also expected to feature a compelling featherweight showdown between Cub Swanson and Kron Gracie.<\/p>\n
