MMANytt.se was first to report the booking. UFC London takes
place at the O2 Arena and features a heavyweight tilt between
Curtis
Blaydes and Tom
Aspinall.
A former welterweight title challenger, Till has lost four of his
last five Octagon appearances. Most recently, “The Gorilla” was
submitted by Derek
Brunson in the third-round of their main event bout at UFC
Fight Night 191 last September. Till’s lone victory during this
recent rough stretch was a split-decision triumph against Kelvin
Gastelum at UFC 244.
Hermansson, meanwhile, has alternated wins and losses in his last
six UFC bouts. “The Joker” is coming of a split-decision setback to
Sean
Strickland in the UFC Fight Night 200 headliner on Feb. 5.
Prior to that, he outpointed Edmen
Shahbazyan at UFC Fight Night 188 in his lone outing of
2021.
