On September 4, 2021, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, Derek Brunson submitted Darren Till in the third round via rear-naked choke.

Five years later, the Brit would love to seize an opportunity for redemption. And his rival is more than willing to give him the chance.

When asked about a second showdown with the Liverpudlian, this time in the BKFC ring, Brunson exclusively told Sporf: “I think that would be a great match-up. I know Darren Till wants to get his revenge, so I think it makes for a good fight.”

While Brunson has no problem trading bombs with Till again, he knows he must first focus on his clash with Doukas.

The 42-year-old exclaimed: “I see the guy; he had a decent MMA career, a pro boxing match, and he’s fought Yoel Romero in BKFC. He’s a guy that’s going to come to fight. Fighters like him want to make an example out of people and shock the world.”
