Paid Members Fox Piss Posted April 28, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 28, 2018 I think nail on the head with the Bellew comparison. His whole "Do what you want to me, but don't disrespect my childhood dream. I won't have that" nearly wrote me off. So weird. I reckon a bit more spotlight and Till could provide some real entertainment outside the cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted April 28, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 28, 2018 April 2018 continues to deliver. According to BloodyElbow, now Gunnar Nelson is out of this card with a knee injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzExile Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Yep - he's had surgery. Thats a shame, was looking forward to that scrap. Lets just hope the main stays together! Most top WWs are tied up with fights now aren't they? Wonder who they will draft in. I think of top 15 guys they only have Alex Oliveira, Jorge Masvidal and Donh Hyun Kim not booked or out injured.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 1, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 1, 2018 Oliveira already stepped in last minute against Condit a few weeks back. He's nuts enough that I could see him jumping in again but you have to assume he's off the list. Masvidal or Stun Gun would be good. But I can't see it for some reason. He'll probably get a lower ranked guy now. Show's only a few weeks away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show's only a few weeks away. Apparently Masvidal (or his manager) has asked for the fight against Neil Magny, but at a 180-pound catchweight.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 1, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 1, 2018 They should definitely do it if Magny agrees to 180, and I think he would. Magny vs Masvidal might actually be a better fight than Magny vs Gunnar, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzExile Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I'd be amazed if the UFC accepted a catchweight bout this far out from the card but I hope it happens! Yeah wand, I reckon those two would stand and slug it out to the death! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimufctna24 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I finally got round to watching Till's fight with Cerrone over the weekend. I liked what I saw. He fights with a lot of self-belief. In that regard, he reminds me of a young Conor McGregor. Thompson is a tall ask for him though. While Woodley proved to be the better fighter of the two during their two-fight series, Thompson demonstrated that he has the game to beat Woodley on the right night. He gave Woodley a lot of issues in their first fight, and demonstrated a great deal of heart along the way. Of course, their second fight was a complete dud, and ruined any idea of a trilogy between the two. But still, Thompson is nobody's fool. His resume overall is very impressive (although I don't remember his fight with Rory at all). Logic says that this is too soon for Till, and that Thompson will be victorious. However, based on nothing other than intuition, I am leaning towards a Till victory. Therefore, I am going to go with Till via TKO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 21, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 21, 2018 Just realised this is on Sunday so it wont clash with the Champions League final, handy piece of booking. Wonder if that was by design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TildeGuy~! Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Grant Vs Bermudez is off due to Grant having a staph infection. Wasnt looking forward to this until watch this Till documentary that BT Sport uploaded a few days ago. I was adamant that Thompson would win but I’m changing my mind to Till by Decision.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 25, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 25, 2018 I cant recall another fight where theres been so many pre-fight packages made with a new first time headliner. Maybe its because its because BT and BBC are hopping on the British fighter hype train and we are noticing it as Brits, but theres undeniable buzz surrounding Darren Till.

the_mole Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 BBC have a MMA section now that's not on BBC three. The UFC have a show on tonight UFC: The fighting pride about Till & Molly McCann (think she's still in Cage Warriors) on BT tonight about MMA in Liverpool.
