Darren Till to make UFC comeback on same night as Paddy Pimblett next fight

Liverpool will look to take over Las Vegas on December 10th with Paddy Pimblett and Darren Till being earmarked to fight on the same card.

Till has lost four of his last five fights - a potential slippery slope in the UFC who are known to be ruthless with cutting fighters who continue on losing streaks and will hope for a statement victory when he faces a tough opponent in Dricus du Plessis.
