The 16 man tournament is now over and the New title contender is now announced as top seed and former WEC &a UFC veteran Timothy Elliot (13-6-1 MMA, 2-4 UFC) emerges after a unanimous Decision over Hiromasa Ogikubo. He will face Johnson at The Ultimate Fighter 24 Finale takes place at The Pearl at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
