LIVERPOOL, England – UFC President Dana White isn’t happy about Darren Till missing weight after he gave the Brit a hometown opportunity in Liverpool with the UFC Fight Night 130 main event. As of now, the fight between Till (16-0-1 MMA, 4-0-1 UFC) and Stephen Thompson (14-2-1 MMA, 9-2-1 UFC) is on for Sunday after Till missed the welterweight limit by 3.5 pounds this morning. There are some fight-day stipulations that must be met before either man steps in the octagon, though, the most significant of which is that Till can’t weigh more than 188 pounds on fight day. Till expressed some concern to MMAjunkie about staying under that limit, and it remains to be seen what’s ultimately going to happen. That’s not a comfortable spot for White to be in heading into the UFC’s debut event in Liverpool, which airs on FS1 following an early prelim on UFC Fight Pass from Echo Arena.
