Since taking Demetrious Johnson to the limit and landing on the wrong end of a decision, Tim Elliott got a win over Louis Smolka but then got submitted by Ben Nguyen. Justin Scoggins has lost half of his last four while trying to find his right weight class. Both guys could use a win, but the match-up is way too exciting to even consider the stakes. Regardless of who wins, this has a potential ‘Fight of the Night’ award written all over it.

UFC on FOX 26 card so far:

• Tim Elliott vs Justin Scoggins
• Vitor Miranda vs Julian Marquez
• Alessio Di Chirico vs Oluwala Bamgbose
• Antonio Rogerio Nogueria vs Jared Cannonier
