Ezra Elliot
Professional Athlete
Born on May 18, 2000, in Hoopeston, Illinois, Ezra Elliott brings an undefeated record and an elite wrestling pedigree to The MMA Network. A product of one of the toughest high school wrestling states in the country, Ezra became a dominant force on the mat — capturing the 2019 IHSA Class 1A State Championship at 138 pounds with a perfect 41-0 senior season and 154 wins throughout his high school career.
In 2021, Ezra relocated to Arizona to pursue his professional ambitions, training at The MMA Lab and Redhawk Academy. He wasted no time making his mark — earning a Brown Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, winning the 2023 ADCC Arizona Open, and claiming the RUF MMA Featherweight Championship on the regional scene.
Now 8-0 professionally with 7 finishes, Ezra made his UFC debut on July 18, 2026, at UFC Fight Night in Oklahoma City. Competing on short notice, he set a new UFC Featherweight record with 12 takedowns en route to a dominant unanimous decision victory — announcing himself to the world in unforgettable fashion.
Known for his elite wrestling, aggressive grappling, and championship mindset, Ezra Elliott is one of the most exciting young talents in the sport today. The MMA Network is proud to financially support him as he chases greatness.
