With that, the UFC created the 24th edition of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), the organization's reality show, to find a new challenger for the belt. And the American Elliott, who had an unsuccessful stint in the UFC in 2015, entered the house, beat three opponents to win the program and have the right to challenge the super champion. In a duel between David and Goliath.
Another standout duel at UFC Fight Night Las Vegas is between former flyweight challengers seeking another shot at the belt. Number one in the ranking Joseph Benavidez measures forces against Henry Cejudo, Olympic champion in 2008 and number two in the category.
