Darren Till is looking to return to the Octagon this year and has an opponent in mind for his next fight. And, that is to rematch Jorge Masvidal, who he lost to back in March by knockout.

“Masvidal, he’s a respectful guy,” Till said to Fighters Only. “He’d come to me after the fight and I was —not crying — but I had my head down and someone tapped me on my shoulder and it was Masvidal, and he shook my hand. He was like, ‘You nearly had me in the first [round].’

“I want that f—-ing rematch. I want that rematch.”

At the moment, a rematch seems unlikely. Masvidal is fighting Ben Askren at UFC 239 and with a win, could very well be in serious title contention. Meanwhile, Till is on a two-fight losing streak after falling to Masvidal and Tyron Woodley in his last two Octagon appearances.
