Set to face Chairez Elliott will face Edgar Chairez in a flyweight bout at Noche UFC on Sept. 12 in Arizona, according to Danny Segura of MMA Junkie.
Impact Elliott needs a bounce-back performance after losing to Steve Erceg via unanimous decision the last time out in May this year. However, this fight isn't an easy one for Elliott, as he'll be facing an opponent that has won his last three bouts, including two by submission in the first round.
JULY 19 • ROTOWIRE
Fades following fast start Elliott lost to Steve Erceg via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Perth, Australia.
Impact While it wasn't the result he was looking for, it was a perfectly reasonable performance from Elliott against a quality opponent in enemy territory. He won Round 1 on all three scorecards on the strength of two successful takedowns, but Elliott's grappling game was nowhere to be found the rest of the way and it ended up costing him a decision. He went 0-for-8 on takedowns over the course of the final two rounds, allowing Erceg to open up an insurmountable lead on the feet. Elliott will be 40 years old on Christmas Eve but he's proven capable of giving highly-ranked opposition competitive fights in the latter stage of his career.

Facing Erceg Elliot will take on Steve Erceg in a flyweight bout at UFC Perth on May 2, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
Impact Elliot will look to even his UFC record at 11-11 and stack consecutive victories after besting Kai Asakura with a Guillotine Choke in the second round of a bout back in August. He'll face a much less experienced fighter in Erceg, who sits at 4-3 in the promotion.

Snatches neck as sizeable underdog Elliott defeated Kai Asakura via submission (guillotine choke) at 4:39 of Round 2 at UFC 319 on Saturday in Chicago, Illinois.
Impact It looked like Elliott was searching for his offense early, but he was able to catch a kick and bring Asakura to the ground at the end of Round 1. The fight took on a different look thereafter, with the Japanese fighter looking timid, and the former title challenger advancing while landing shots. This culminated in a takedown that allowed Elliott to find his opponent's neck in a scramble. At 38 years old, it's difficult to imagine that Elliott can make a run at the top of this division, but he will be a tough out whenever he is in the cage. Elliott improves to 21-13-1 in professional MMA as a result of the victory.
