UFC flyweight contender Tim Elliott shut down a disgruntled fan’s response to his loss at UFC Perth last weekend.
UFC Perth featured plenty of entertaining moments last weekend, headlined by welterweight star Carlos Prates finishing former champion Jack Della Maddalena in the main event. Prates seems on track for a potential welterweight title shot as UFC welterweight champion Islam Makhachev awaits news on his first title defense.
On the UFC Perth undercard, one of the best fights of the night featured former title challenger Steve Erceg squaring off with Demetrious Johnson’s former rival, Tim Elliott, in a three-round flyweight war. Erceg walked away with a unanimous decision win as Elliott’s recent win streak came to an end.
As the UFC continues to grow in popularity, sportsbooks feature UFC fights as popular bets. However, several fighters have received threats from some UFC fans after failing to solidify their parlays and individual plays.
Elliott didn’t mince words after one fan fired a personal attack on social media.
Tim Elliott hits back at disgruntled fan’s explicit response to UFC Perth defeat
After Elliott posted a message to his followers on X following UFC Perth, one fan made his opinion felt colorfully.
“I LOST MONEY ON YOU, YOU B——,” the fan wrote to Elliott.
It didn’t take long for Elliott to take the time to respond to his hater.
“Get a job b—-,” Elliott responded.
Before UFC Perth, Elliott entered the flyweight title discussion after recent wins over former title challenger Kai Asakura and Sumadaerji. Despite being at one of the final stages of his combat sports career, Elliott continues to be a tough out for most of the top flyweights.
In the meantime, Elliott won’t hesitate to hit back at fans who attempt to bully fighters after their bets fall short.
