DARREN TILL goes head-to-head with ex-UFC champion Luke Rockhold in a colossal fight for the MFB Bridgerweight title THIS WEEKEND!
Manchester’s AO Arena hosts the high-stakes bout with professional MMA fighter Till taking on former UFC Middleweight champion Rockhold.
Till boasted a UFC record of 18-5-1 and has since transferred his skill to the Misfits ring.
The Liverpool born fighter, 32, has won his first two fights since making his Misfits boxing debut, convincingly defeating Anthony Taylor by TKO and Darren Stewart by unaminous decision.
“The Gorilla” will be eager to continue his form with a win over Rockhold and is favourite for the bout.
American retired MMA star Rockhold makes his much anticipated boxing debut on August 30.
The 40-year-old star is most remembered for becoming the seventh UFC Middleweight champion in UFC history just over a decade ago.
It will be a tough challenge for Rockhold as he makes the transition into boxing, but he will be hoping for a strong underdog victory against the in-form Till.
