UFC Liverpool Fight Card and Rumors<\/strong><\/p>\n

The octagon invades Liverpool, England on Saturday May 27 for UFC Fight Night 130.<\/p>\n

The event is headlined by a key welterweight tilt featuring former two-time division title challenger Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson<\/a> taking on surging division contender and Liverpool native Darren Till.<\/p>\n

Arguably the UFC’s best striker, “Wonderboy” was most recently seen in action at November’s UFC 217 event<\/a> where he scored a unanimous decision victory over the always dangerous Jorge Masvidal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since joining the UFC ranks Thompson has scored a plethora of memorable wins including knockout victories over Jake Ellenberger<\/a>, former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks and current UFC middleweight title holder Robert Whittaker.<\/p>\n

\u201cWonderboy\u201d now takes his talents overseas where a \u201cGorilla\u201d awaits him in the form of undefeated welterweight Darren Till.<\/p>\n

The Liverpool native is coming off the biggest win of his young career after scoring a spectacular first-round knockout victory over UFC legend Donald \u201cCowboy\u201d Cerrone last fall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the co-main event of the evening perennial UFC welterweight contenders Gunnar Nelson and Neil Magny w<\/a>ill square off with the winner moving up towards the UFC’s crowded 170-pound title picture.<\/p>\n

Nelson is coming off a controversial loss to Santiago Ponzinibbio in his most recent outing, while Magny is coming off an impressive win over former division interim champion Carlos Condit at UFC 219.<\/p>\n

Also rumored for the May 27 fight card in Liverpool is former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping. “The Count” recently told reporters that he is interested in the idea of having his UFC retirement fight in Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n
