Darren Till dropped to 5-1 in his last six fights after losing at UFC 282. When competing at 170lbs, he looked like a world-beater… until he didn’t. He was fast-tracked to a title shot off the back of a six-fight UFC run which saw him go undefeated, headline two events and become the next great English hope. He single-handedly bought the UFC to Liverpool’s Echo Arena, had a captivating back story and the collective heart of a nation backing him.
Heading over to Dallas, Texas in September of 2018, many believed Till would capture the belt from then-champion, Tyron Woodley.
