This flyweight scrap at Noche UFC in Glendale is a classic grappler versus grappler battle, and fans are hyped to see who can impose their game. Tim Elliott, the crafty veteran southpaw, just got back in the win column with that slick guillotine choke from mount against Kai Asakura back in August. Before that, he dropped a decision to Steve Erceg in Perth, but Elliott's still dangerous as hell when he gets his hands on you. Edgar Chairez is riding serious momentum with three straight finishes, including that nasty rear naked choke of Bruno Silva in just over four minutes last June. The Mexican fighter looked sharp getting that split decision over Felipe Bunes in Mexico City too.
- Elliott's veteran scrambles versus Chairez's hot finishing streak
- Three straight submission wins for the surging Mexican
- Both guys hunt necks and limbs like it's instinct
Expect the action to hit another level once someone shoots for a takedown or initiates a scramble, because that's when these submission artists go to work.
Here's the thing about this matchup: both guys hunt for submissions like it's their job (because it literally is). Elliott's got that old school scramble game and finds chokes from weird positions. Remember when he arm triangled Sumudaerji in the first round? Dude's a problem on the mat. But Chairez has been finishing fights even faster lately.
That rear naked choke of CJ Vergara took just 2:30, and he caught Daniel Lacerda in a triangle from bottom guard in under 2:30 as well. When Chairez gets the back or locks up a submission, it's usually goodnight. The big question is whether Elliott's experience and scrambling ability can neutralize Chairez's finishing instincts. Elliott's fought everyone and knows every trick in the book, but Chairez is younger, hungrier, and on a tear right now. This one's gonna be a chess match until someone makes a mistake.
