Fighter, model, actor, UFC Middleweight Elias Theodorou does it all. The Ultimate Fighter Nations season winner will return to action this weekend when he takes on Daniel Kelly in Sydney.

After a narrow loss to Brad Tavares back in July, Theodorou will look to bounce back when he takes on Judo Olympian Dan Kelly in enemy territory.

Before he takes on Kelly, I caught up with Elias, asking him a fun 21 questions for the fans to get to know him better. Check it out below.
