He’s got a chin on him alright.
Darren Till has a huge future ahead of him in the UFC, having already competed five times in the Octagon and yet to taste defeat.
The Liverpool welterweight’s breakout performance came in Gdansk last month, when Till knocked out the legendary Donald Cerrone in the first round shortly after shattering the nose of ‘Cowboy’.
The victory inspired UFC President Dana White to proclaim Till ‘The Future’ and there were even reports that White had been convinced to move an entire UFC event from Florida to the United Kingdom next February to allow Till to fight in his own country for the first time in his 17-fight career.

And while he has rowed back on those claims, White has big plans for the 24-year-old, who has been busying himself looking for a fight on social media.
Till came to a verbal agreement with fellow 170lbs prospect Kamaru Usman in recent days but there’s still a lot of work to be done to get that fight over the line.
Yesss oh yesssss!!! Letsssss go donut head @ufc @Mickmaynard2

And, in the meantime, Till is putting in serious work in the gym.
The kickboxing phenomenon has enlisted the help of some heavyweights to put his chin to the test in sparring.
Till was clocked cleanly without headgear this week and proved to everyone that he can most definitely take a shot as he ate a solid left uppercut and right cross and just kept coming forward.
