After an impressive start to his UFC career culminated in a title shot against welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in 2018, Darren Till has struggled to stay in the win column. The Englishman is 1-4 in his last five fights.
In that five fight span Till lost to Woodley by submission, Jorge Masvidal by TKO, Robert Whittaker by unanimous decision and—most recently—Derek Brunson by submission. His only win during that run was a split decision over Kelvin Gastelum.
The fight with Brunson, which happened back in April, was the main event for UFC Vegas 36. The bout saw Till get taken down multiple times and eat some hard ground-and-pound before eventually giving up the fight ending rear naked choke in the third round.
