So, &#8220;The Last Stylebender&#8221; is actively looking at future fights and has his eyes on a scrap with Darren Till. He and the Englishman get along great but he knows style-wise, that is a fight that must happen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are cool, I like Darren. We already know we are going to fight one day, we will do it for the culture of fighting. That is a stylistic matchup that can&#8217;t be missed, not in this era,&#8221; Israel Adesanya said on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OYP_qmayY04\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Submission Radio<\/a>. &#8220;It&#8217;s not going to get away from me. I like him, he&#8217;s a good kid. I think we get along very well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even though Israel Adesanya is the champion, he says he would like to have that title defense in London, England in a stadium show. He knows how big the European market is and how big of a star Till is there. It also gives him a chance to go to London.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I haven&#8217;t been to London yet so what better excuse&#8230; What better reason to go to London then to sell out a stadium show over there and fight one of their sons, Darren Till,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Darren Till is coming off a successful middleweight debut where <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/kelvin-gastelum\/ufc-244-results-darren-till-defeats-kelvin-gastelum\/\">he edged out a split-decision over Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 244<\/a>. The win also snapped his two-fight losing streak. There, he was knocked out by Jorge Masvidal and submitted by Tyron Woodley in a fight for the welterweight title.<\/p>\n<p>Till was expected to fight at UFC 248 against Jared Cannonier, yet Dana White said he won&#8217;t be due to an ankle injury. But, Till <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/jared-cannonier\/darren-till-hopeful-he-can-still-fight-jared-cannonier-at-ufc-248\/\">says it is due to the money being offered<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, there is no question a potential scrap between Israel Adesanya and Darren Till in a stadium in London would be a massive fight.<\/p>\n<p>Would you be interested in seeing Israel Adesanya fight Darren Till in a stadium in London?
