Former UFC star Darren Till moved to 4-0 in the exhibition boxing world with a devastating knockout win over Luke Rockhold on Saturday night.
Till (18-5-1 MMA, 6-5-1 UFC) crumpled champion Rockhold in the third round of their main event bout at Misfits Boxing 22 in Manchester, England to add the former UFC middleweight champion’s name to his list of conquests since he parted Ways with the UFC in 2023.
Till had already picked up wins over Anthony Taylor and Darren Stewart earlier this year but the brutal nature of his finish over Rockhold is surely the standout moment of his post-UFC career to date.
Rockhold (16-6 MMA, 6-5 UFC) moves to 1-2 in his post-UFC career having lost to Mike Perry at BKFC 41 before going on to knock out kickboxing legend Joe Schilling at Karate combat 45 last year.
In the co-main event, former UFC lightweight standout Tony Ferguson (25-11 MMA, 15-9 UFC) was victorious in his exhibition boxing debut, stopping Nathaniel “Salt Papi” Bustamante in the third round. This was the first time Ferguson had his hand raised since a win over Donald Cerrone at UFC 238 back in 2019, snapping an 8-fight skid.
Dillon Danis (3-0 MMA) was victorious in the only MMA bout on the card. He only needed 15 seconds to find a submission finish over Warren Spencer, putting him away via a mounted guillotine.
