A headliner for UFC Fight Night 127 appears to be in the works, but it doesn’t involve Michael Bisping.
According to John Kavanagh, the promotion is targeting a welterweight clash between Gunnar Nelson and Darren Till for the March 17 event in London. Nelson trains under Kavanagh at SBG Ireland.
So [UFC] have offered [Nelson vs. Till] main event [at UFC London],” Kavanagh wrote on Twitter. “We’ve agreed so hoping to hear confirmation soon. How do you guys like the matchup? I’m reminded of the Thatch fight, big strong striker but I think Till is tougher challenge.
