I absolutely hate Liverpool accent so I hope Till gets violently KO'd.

A few names buried on this otherwise brutal card. I know it's all Fight Pass, but some of the fight placement is still strange. I still like Warlley Alves, looking forward to seeing him back. No idea why Lobov v Fili is this buried when it's one of the more marketable fights on the card.

I feel like Anthony Hamilton is on every card.

Always looking forward to a Cerrone fight, too.

 

[tmurfin]

Smh, Lobov should be co-main at least.

 

[Asiantuntija]

Till by decision. This could be fight of the year.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Did they just ejected McGregor from the events?

 

[MD thaivuN]

i see why Alvey missed weight. the man is clearly not in shape off-camp

 

[Killahpunk]

Błachowicz with a standing rear-naked choke

 

[Killahpunk]

Till owned Cowboy, wow!

 

[Rocko604]

Till calls out Perry. Please for the love of everything holy, make that fight. Would love to see Perry get KTFO cold and forced to retire.

 

[Kitten Mittons]

Till is eventually gonna get knocked out sticking his chin out like that. Looked like 15lbs difference between them.

 

[Daley Tarasenkshow]

Till is one of the many legitimate prospects/new faces taking the welterweight division by storm. Till, Usman, Ponzinibbio, Perry, even Niko Price and Mickey Gall.

It's hard for me to imagine a scenario in which Perry beats Ponzinibbio let alone Till. Perry lost to Jouban and has since beaten Ellenberger and that Reyes guy. Nowhere near the caliber of Till beating Cerrone. Plus it's worth noting that Perrys most recent lost was to Jouban who's now lost two straight himself.

 

[Neutrinos]

I'd never heard of Till, but it was evident right away he was the better striker

Reminded me a little of Wonder Boy

 

[Avs_19]

Till looked very legit in that fight. I'd definitely be down for him against the winner of Perry/Ponzinibbio next.

Anything else on the card worth watching?

Haters keep hating and Till keeps knocking people out. That's the way it's always been.

 

[Kitten Mittons]

Asiantuntija don't act like you knew who Till was before this fight.

Yes i did, as you can see i gave a prediction that Till is going to take this one. It has been pleasure to follow his career because his style is so unique. Next champion. Mark my words.

 

[Kitten Mittons]

I don't see him getting past Thompson or Woodley.

It's a smart move to call out Perry though - easy victory which will help him builder a larger fanbase and hype around his name. Especially if Perry wins his next bout.

Eh, Perry can turn the lights out for anyone pretty quick. I actually think there's no need to Till to fight Perry, he just beat a better rated guy in Cerrone. He should jump up into the higher tier ASAP.

As for the rest of the card..

I thought Cerrone looked terrible leading up to the fight and obviously during the fight. Doubt he prepared for this fight at all, this was "cashing a cheque" Cerrrone this weekend that I'm afraid we will see more and more over the next few years.

KK looked fine in an extremely boring fight. Nothing here to get too excited about.

I don't know how Devin Clark taps to a sleeperhold, at least try something to get out of it. Embarrassing at the UFC level.

I actually liked how Haqparast looked in the loss to Held. He had some creative striking and very fluid movements. Someone to keep an eye on.

Sam Alvey looked hilariously bad. He looked fat & slow. No idea why he felt obligated to take this fight on short notice coming off a big win over Rashad.

Lobov got worked by Fili. I've described him before as a brand-name punching bag because he is an easy fight for anyone and gives you some name cache, and that was certainly the case tonight. Good win for Fili.

 

[Sheppy]

Till looked fantastic.

 

[Kitten Mittons]

Apparently Till was 200lbs on fight night:

 

[Sheppy]

Not surprised. He looked absolutely massive...

 

[Asiantuntija]

Yes those super genetics makes it easier to success. Till is big welterweight with absolutely incredible stand up. Did Cerrone touch him even once?

I also think he has enough confidence & skills to beat Woodley. Stephen was very scared about that right hand at both fights and that was big factor. I don't really know can he beat Wonderboy at the moment, if i had to guess i would pick Till but won't put money for him. Wonderboy & Woodley is getting out of their prime, so Till will be champion sooner or later.

 

[MD thaivuN]

one of Till or Usman is likely going to be the next champ. Usman more likely than the other, but Till is still only 24 and only in his 4th year of a pro MMA fighter, which is usually where fighters tend to start putting their game together.
