On May 27, in the main event of the UFC’s debut in Liverpool, England, Darren Till will take on two-time welterweight title challenger Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson in a bout that is far and away the biggest test of his career thus far.<\/p>\n

If Till topples this momentous challenge, he expects to become one of the most sought-after fighters in the stacked UFC welterweight division. In fact, he expects to become the division’s so-called “money fight,” which means divisional king Tyron Woodley will be banging on\u00a0his\u00a0<\/em>door, and not the other way around. To Till, that implies a welterweight title fight inside Liverpool’s famous Anfield stadium.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the first episode of his new video blog series, Till gave his take on what a win over Wonderboy will do for his station in the welterweight division.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/youtu.be\/gGHe2t7TSDA<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s Anfield,” Till tells UFC play-by-play man John Gooden in the video above (transcribed by Jim Edwards for MMANytt<\/a>). “After I beat [Thompson], I become the money fight in the division and Woodley has to come to me.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI will shout and call for Anfield like you\u2019ve never seen in your life and I will make it happen and Woodley will have to come to me,” he added.<\/p>\n

Darren Till last fought in October, when he delivered an emphatic, first-round knockout at the expense of long-time contender Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in the main event of the UFC’s stop in Gdansk, Poland. With this win, Till improved to a flawless 16-0-1 overall, the lone hiccup on his record being a 2015 draw with Nicolas Dalby.<\/p>\n

While the winner of Darren Till’s fight with Stephen Thompson is likely to be right on the cusp of a title shot, the truth is that the winner of UFC 225’s interim welterweight title fight between Colby Covington and Rafael dos Anjos<\/a> is almost certain to earn the next crack at Woodley.<\/p>\n
