The two <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/darren-till\/darren-till-gunnar-nelson-nice-chat-agreeing-fight\/\">verbally agreed to a fight on Twitter<\/a> in early November and Nelson is wondering what&#8217;s up.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI had a little back and forth with Darren Till there online not too long ago and I thought that was going to happen. Well, they haven\u2019t scheduled anything yet, but it looks like he\u2019s calling everyone out. I said I\u2019m here. Nothing\u2019s happening, I don\u2019t know.\u00a0I\u2019d love that fight. He\u2019s saying he\u2019s not getting any opponents, he\u2019s a good fighter, he\u2019s up there and he\u2019s online saying nobody wants to fight him or whatever, and I said \u2018I\u2019m ready\u2019 and that\u2019s it. He\u2019s ranked up there, and I\u2019m willing to fight.

But yeah, I\u2019m ready if he is. Nobody is saying anything, but we said we were ready and after all this back and forth online, I basically thought it was on.

Everything about it sounds great, but the MMA booking world is a strange thing. Now that both Mike Perry and Kamaru Usman are booked, the forces drawing Nelson and Darren Till closer together may end up resulting in this fight finally becoming booked. Either way, with Nelson wanting redemption from the eye poke resulting in a knockout loss and Till needing to get back in the Octagon, we&#8217;ll see both of these fighters in 2018 soon.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article first appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\">BJPenn.com<\/a> on 1\/9\/2018.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Out of nearly the entire top 15 of welterweights got booked at the tail end of 2017, one was missing.
