The unbeaten welterweight meets two-time title challenger Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson in the main event of UFC Liverpool on May 27 at the Echo Arena, officials announced Thursday.
Talks of the bout were first reported by BJPenn.com and later confirmed by MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani.
Till, 25, had mentioned Thompson as one of his preferred opponents and he is getting his wish as he headlines the UFC’s first trip to Liverpool. The Scouser is coming off of a first-round TKO of veteran Donald Cerrone at UFC Gdansk last October and he has yet to taste defeat in 17 pro bouts.
