LONDON – Darren Tillbelieves he’s a massive benefactor in the title change that just occurred in the UFC welterweight division, and he plans to make moves for the title after UFC on ESPN+ 5.
Till (17-1-1 MMA, 5-1-1 UFC), who lost to then-champ Tyron Woodley in his previous outing, will attempt to bounce back when he meets Jorge Masvidal (32-13 MMA, 9-6 UFC) in today’s main event matchup, which takes place at The O2 in London and streams on ESPN+.
Since Till lost to Woodley by second-round submission, “The Chosen One” has dropped the belt to Kamaru Usman (15-1 MMA, 10-0 UFC). It took Till six UFC fights to work his way up to his first crack at the belt, but given the state of the division and where he sits in the UFC’s version of the 170-pound rankings, he thinks a win over Masvidal could punch his ticket back to a championship dance.
