There will be no homecoming fight for Darren Till.
ESPN’s Marc Raimondi was first to report that the Englishman had withdrawn from his July 23rd matchup with fellow middleweight contender Jack Hermansson due to an undisclosed injury. Shortly after that news broke, the UFC confirmed that Chris Curtis has agreed to make that trip to London and take on Hermansson.
Till (18-4-1) has dropped four out of his last five, including a submission defeat to Derek Brunson last September. This was due to be his first fight in England since a KO loss to Jorge Masvidal in 2019, but now he’ll have to wait a little longer for his return.
