Tim Elliott and his beard made a statement in the UFC's flyweight division with a one-sided win at UFC 164 in Milwaukee on Saturday night. According to the UFC's statistical breakdown, Elliott landed 270 strikes in the three-round fight. His opponent, Louis Gaudinot, landed just 44.
At just 26 years old, Elliott is 14-3 and 3-1 in the UFC. After seeing him take over Gaudinot, who should he fight?

Who in the world of MMA had a good week, and who didn't?
Not -- Reza Madadi: The UFC fighter was convicted of aggravated theft in Sweden. He will spend 18 months in jail for his part in a break-in of a Bottega Venetta store. He has two months to appeal the verdict.
Hot -- Fox Sports 1: Just days before it starts up, Fox hopes their all-sports channel will challenge ESPN. The UFC will air an entire card on it during the first day.
Not -- Jason "Mayhem" Miller: He's fought in Strikeforce and the UFC, but his life has taken a weird, worrisome turn as of late. Miller was arrested on domestic violence charges in California this week. Then, he posted a bizarre apology on his website and added some equally odd pictures to his Instagram account.
Hot -- Bellator's improving pay-per-view: The match-up of Quinton"Rampage" Jackson and Tito Ortiz excited very few fans about Bellator's first pay-per-view. However, the additions of Eddie Alvarez vs. Michael Chandler II and Mo Lawal vs. Emanuel Newton II make it a much more interesting card.
Still taking temperature -- Mauricio "Shogun" Rua: After a loss to Alexander Gustafsson, the one-time UFC light heavyweight champ could use a big win. He is getting a chance to make a mark against Chael Sonnen at UFC Fight Night 26 on Fox Sports 1 Saturday.

The UFC will make its debut on Fox Sports 1 on Saturday with a really fun card. What will we learn from these fights? Read on.
Does Chael Sonnen have any business fighting at light heavyweight? Though all of his previous UFC fights were at middleweight, Sonnen talked his way into a title shot at light heavyweight. After losing to Jon Jones, he's trying another bout at 205 lbs. with Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. He can show if he belongs fighting at this weight or if he should go back down to middleweight.
Has Alistair Overeem recovered from being knocked out by Antonio Silva? When "Big Foot" knocked out Overeem in February, it was the first time he had suffered a knockout since 2007. Returning from a shocking loss like that is no small feat. He can show if he's resilient in a bout with Travis Browne.
Does Matt Brown deserve a title shot? He's been under the radar, but he is on a five-fight winning streak, with the last three wins coming by second round knockouts. With an impressive win over Mike Pyle, he could get the next welterweight title shot.
Can Conor McGregor live up to the hype? For a guy with one UFC win, McGregor has generated an awful lot of buzz. He will get a chance to show what he's capable of against Max Holloway, who is coming off of a loss to Dennis Bermudez.
Is Uriah Hall just a TUF star? Everyone was blown away with the raw power Hall showed during "The Ultimate Fighter," but he fizzled at the TUF finale and lost to Kelvin Gastelum. Against John Howard, Hall can show if he's just a TUF flash in the pan or a real prospect.
