LIVERPOOL, England – There seems to be a bit of a pattern when Darren Till ’s name is presented to experienced UFC welterweights. As he prepares to meet Till in the headliner of Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 130, Stephen Thompson is well aware of who he is. But when Thompson was first introduced to the idea, during the week of his meeting with Jorge Masvidal last November, “Wonderboy” Thompson’s reaction to the name was somewhat similar to Donald Cerrone’s . “I had some people ask me, ‘Hey, would you fight Darren Till?” Thompson told MMAjunkie. “Of course, I’m like – I didn’t really know who Darren Till was at the time. I had to go back and do my research.” Thompson’s reaction, he says, was “I’ll fight anybody.” But there were still pieces to be put in place before the matchup came together.
