Darren Till would fight Kamaru Usman, but understands ‘safe champion’ Tyron Woodley’s logic

Darren Till says he will face Kamaru Usman if Tyron Woodley is somehow forced out of their UFC 228 championship bout.

Earlier this week, Woodley claimed that would not face Usman despite “The Nigerian Nightmare” being drafted in as backup for the welterweight title clash, in an interview on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show.

Till acknowledged that Usman is now simply playing backup for him on Sept. 8. He claimed that he felt like he is being treated like the only person who has ever missed weight in the UFC following his well-documented failure to register within the welterweight limit for his Liverpool clash with Stephen Thompson.
