Elliott is bringing the fight to Mighty Mouse and locks in a tight guillotine. Johnson rolls out but he’s stuck in a D’Arce #TUFFinale

Man. Tim Elliott holding a lottery ticket off by one number right now. Yikes that was close.

Holy shit thought for sure Timmy had one choke or the other. He’s nasty from front headlock

Tim Elliott is currently in #beastmode DJ is one of the few who could counter & survive that round. #TUF24Finale

I don’t even know what universe I’m living in. 10-9 Elliott in the first; he’s swarming, pressuring, landing shots, scrambling. #TUFFinale

I can’t remember the last time I saw DJ lose a round. Holy shit

If you didn’t already know, @TElliott125 is a sick MFer!

It was so ephemeral, but Elliott rolled at just the perfect angle that DJ didn’t sit into a nearside armbar in that scramble and end him.

And the champ retakes the momentum. Tied at 19.

Elliot is more unorthodox than an atheist priest! #TUFFinale #TUF24Finale

DJ winning the grappling exchanges and solidifying top position might just be the method to him earning the W #TUFFinale

Elliott fighting the fight of his career! Still losing though and needs a finish. #tuffinale

49-46 Johnson. Elliott had his moments and fought his heart out, but he clearly ran out of solutions as the fight wore on. #TUFFinale
