Surging talent Darren Till has recently called for fights against Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson and Mike Perry, but top-fifteen welterweight contender Gunnar Nelson would like to challenge the Liverpudlian at the upcoming UFC Fight Night 127 card in London.
Nelson, who is coming off a first-round knockout loss to Santiago Ponzinibbio, verbally agreed to a bout with Till back in November but hasn’t heard anything from the UFC.
“I had a little back and forth with Darren Till not so long ago and I thought that was going to happen,” Nelson told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour, per MMA Fighting’s Peter Carroll.
