Next fight scheduled
Elliott is scheduled to face Jonathan Micallef in a welterweight bout at UFC Perth on Sept. 27, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Elliott is set to return to the Octagon and will look to rebound after having his eight-fight winning streak snapped by Seok Hyun Ko via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night on June 21, where he entered as a -500 favorite. Elliott holds a professional record of 12-3-0, with six of his wins coming by decision.

Dominate as massive favorite
Elliott lost to Seok Hyun Ko via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Baku, Azerbaijan.
ANALYSIS
Elliott entering as a -500 favorite is certainly going to be in the running for worst line of the year when all it is said and done. He gave up six takedowns and 10:15 worth of control time to Ko, an opponent known for his striking as opposed to his grappling game. Elliott landed just 10 significant strikes in 15 minutes and failed on both of his takedown attempts. It was a truly abysmal performance from start to finish. Oban had built up some good will after winning each of his first three UFC bouts, but much of that is gone following this effort.

New opponent and date
Elliott is scheduled to compete against Seok Hyun Ko in a welterweight fight at UFC Baku on June 21, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
At UFC Vegas 107, Elliott and Ko were scheduled to fight Ramiz Brahimaj and Billy Goff respectively. However, both members of the former duo had to withdraw. It seems they are good to go a month down the line, as the UFC ultimately decided to pencil both Elliott and Ko against each other for Azerbaijan. Elliott's new opponent is a promotion newcomer.

Set to face Brahimaj
Elliott will face Ramiz Brahimaj at UFC Vegas 107 on May 31, Alex Behunin of MMA Mania reports.
ANALYSIS
Elliott defeated Bassil Hafez via KO (punches) at 0:40 of Round 3 at UFC 309 on Nov. 16, 2024, and he remains perfect at the UFC level. He's won four fights in a row across all levels, including his three with the promotion, and at 26 years old, he's clearly on the rise.
