This fiery fight is a must-see! Derek Brunson and Darren Till have been exchanging heated words online for weeks, and both will now have the chance to put their money where their mouth is as they clash in an epic middleweight bout. Brunson is entering this fight off the back of a four fight streak, while Till is chasing a win after his recent loss to former champion, Robert Whittaker. Both are ranked in the top 10 of the division with Brunson sitting at #5, and Till at #7 respectively. Who will take the bragging rights?
Brunson has proven he’s championship material after holding his four streak blitz. His last fight saw him defeat Kevin Holland via unanimous decision, and his previous fight to Emden Shahbazyan was sealed when Brunson took him down by TKO. Prior to his wins, he lost to champion Israel Adesanya and Jacare Souza, but has since picked up the pace to chase the belt with a vengeance.
Can Brunson make this fight his fifth straight one?
Till is also keen to win. He’ll look to make a comeback after suffering various injuries which forced him to withdraw from previous fights he was scheduled for. The #7 ranked fighter hasn’t fought since his loss to ex-champ Whittaker last year. His last win was against Kelvin Gastelum in 2019. Last August he returned to the middleweight division after previously competing in the welterweight division.
Will Till make a comeback win?
