News Kai Asakura vs Tim Elliott set for UFC 319 in Chicago on August 16

[BoxerMaurits]

Krazy Kev isn’t always the most reliable, so I looked into it myself through my own network and can confirm that Asakura vs Elliott is indeed in the works.
There’s no confirmed date or signed contracts yet (so don’t put too much stock in the date or event Kevin mentioned), but there is a verbal agreement in place.
The fight is definitely being worked on:




UPDATE:

Krazy Kev was right

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Also, solid scrap

[TheMoa]

I was going to ask how Kai went from a title shot to fight an unranked guy.. then I saw that Tim is ranked and is actually better ranked them him. lol
Was he hurt? His last fight was in 2023

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

Krazy Kev vs me you mean?

This world never ceases to amaze me!

Tim Elliot taking on half of the TUF house I'll never forget

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

I am to young to watch that.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Tim's last fight was hard to watch. He's got so many miles on his body. I don't see this going well for him

 

[DougieJones]

Tim will find a way to cheat

 

[Sms_productions713]

This is a good test for him to see where he will rank among the ufc guys.

Also, I honestly thought Tim Got cut years ago. Glad to see him still around

 

[EndlessCritic]

Revenge for Elliott beating Ougikubo in the TUF finals?
