Jorge Masvidal returned to the win column for the first time in more than two years on Saturday when he went to England and upset Darren Till on home soil at UFC on ESPN+ 5.
After back-to-back losses, Masvidal (33-13 MMA, 10-6 UFC) rebounded at a critical point in his career when he scored a violent second-round knockout victory over former welterweight title challenger Till (17-2-1 MMA, 5-2-1 UFC) in the matchup of contenders, which took place at The O2 in London and streamed on ESPN+.
Check below for the top Twitter reactions to Masvidal’s victory over Till at UFC on ESPN+ 5.
