The UFC has officially announced Darren Till’s opponent at the upcoming UFC Liverpool event.
Till will take on former title contender Stephen Thompson. The promotion also confirmed that this bout will serve as the headliner.
Although the co-main event has yet to be officially announced, it will likely be Neil Magny vs. Gunnar Nelson in a welterweight bout.Â
As of late, Till has been vocal about his intentions about his opponents. In previous interviews, he has talked about how he wants to knockout one welterweight fighter in particular.
Thompson was last seen in the Octagon at the UFC 217 pay-per-view event in New York City last November where he won via unanimous decision against Jorge Masvidal.
