Masvidal Drops Till At UFC London
Darren Till’s return to action did not last long, as Jorge Masvidal knocked him out at the UFC’s return to London.
After controlling the pace in the first round against the more aggressive Masvidal, the Liverpool native was unable to get up from a devastating right hand right to the jaw.
