The UFC is giving popular rising English welterweight Darren Till the fight he asked for – and in his home country, no less. The undefeated 24-year-old Till (16-0-1 MMA, 4-0-1 UFC) will take on former two-time title challenger Stephen Thompson (14-2-1 MMA, 9-2-1 UFC) at a UFC event scheduled for Feb. 24 that, according to the UFC’s website, will air on FOX. That date was recently announced as UFC Fight Night 127 in Orlando, Fla., but UFC President Dana White revealed during a Q&A tonight in Santa Monica, Calif, that the event will be moved to England, according to Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times.
