"If I was trying to martial arts competition Kai he would have kicked my ass. He was martial artsing me and I was fighting. That's the difference."
"This is my favorite thing in the world to do. That 653 days that I was out was 653 sad days of me not being able to do what I love."
"A lot of people think that it's cruel or unfair to see fighting dogs fight, but fighting dogs live and breathe to fight."
"I don't know what the f*ck I'm going to do when I retire because I'm just going to be a fighting dog with no fight left."
Tim Elliott remains committed to fighting after his upset victory over Kai Asakura at UFC 319. He considers himself a fighter rather than a martial artist, believing that this mindset allows him to sustain his career. Elliott expressed relief at returning to competition after a 20-month layoff, emphasizing that fighting is his favorite activity. He compared his need to fight to a fighting dog’s instinct, stating that his life feels incomplete when he cannot compete. He indicated he will continue fighting until the sport forces him to retire.
