[autotag]Tim Elliott[/autotag] will look to make it three wins in a row when he meets a surging flyweight.
Elliott (17-11-1 MMA, 6-9 UFC) takes on [autotag]Su Mudaerji[/autotag] (14-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) at UFC Fight Night on June 26 in an event that does not currently have a confirmed location or venue.
Two people with knowledge of the matchup informed MMA Junkie of the booking but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
Elliott is coming off consecutive wins for the first time since 2016. After defeating Ryan Benoit via unanimous decision at UFC on ESPN 13 in July, the Glory MMA fighter picked up a lopsided decision win over Jordan Espinosa at UFC 259 earlier this month.
Since dropping his UFC debut to Louis Smolka in November 2018, Mudaerji has won three straight over Andre Soukhamthath, Malcolm Gordon and, most recently, Zarrukh Adashev at UFC on ESPN 20 in January, which earned him the No. 13 spot in the UFC’s official flyweight rankings.
With the addition to the card, the June 26 event now includes:
- Maxim Grishin vs. Ovince Saint Preux
- Anthony Hernandez vs. Punahele Soriano
- Tim Elliott vs. Su Mudaerji
