Less than a year ago, Darren Till was considered a serious threat to the UFC welterweight title as he prepared for a showdown against then-champion Tyron Woodley.
At the time, Till was an undefeated contender with a stunning knockout against Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and a unanimous decision victory over Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson that put him near the top of the welterweight rankings.
So it wasn’t an accident that Till got a title shot but Woodley dispatched him in relatively easy fashion, finishing with a second-round submission in the UFC 228 main event.
