Fresh off a UFC title challenge, Kai Asakura (21-5) will make his second walk to the Octagon at UFC 319 against divisional mainstay Tim Elliott (20-13-1). It is time to continue our UFC 319 odds series with a Tim Elliott-Kai Asakura prediction and pick.
Asakura, 31, received a rare title challenge in his UFC debut but fell short against Alexandre Pantoja at UFC 310. The defeat ended a mini two-fight win streak that he accrued in the Japanese promotion RIZIN.
Elliott, 38, has not fought since December 2023 and will end a 20-month-long layoff when he faces Asakura. Elliott submitted Sumudaerji in that fight on short notice to rebound from his previous loss to Muhammad Mokaev. The veteran is an impressive 5-2 in his last five fights.
