Till has yet to compete in 2022 after
being forced to withdraw from a proposed matchup against Jack

challenger has lost four of his last five Octagon appearances and
is coming off a third-round submission defeat to Derek
Brunson at UFC Fight Night 191 in September 2021.
A former KSW champion, Du Plessis is 3-0 thus far in UFC
competition. Most recently, the South African defeated Brad
Tavares via uanimous decision at UFC 276 to run his
professional mark to 17-2.
