Jorge Masvidal Stuns UFC London Crowd With Huge KO Win Over Darren Till
Darren Till returned to the cage for the first time since coming up short in his title efforts at UFC London on Saturday night.
The size difference between the former title challenger Till and his opponent Jorge Masvidal was a massive one. Some suggest Till should move up to middleweight, while Masvidal has previously competed as a lightweight. That came into play early as Till dropped the much smaller Masvidal, and took him down shortly after.
FLOORED!

Till didn’t overmatch Masvidal, however. Masvidal found success with a counter right into a left hook and several leg kicks. However, his biggest piece of success was a huge lunging shot that knocked Till stiff and brought a hush over the London crowd. The knockout immediately registered as one of the best of the UFC’s year.
