The Ultimate Fighting Championship series comes to London as UFC Fight Night 147 goes on Saturday 16 March at the city’s 02 Arena in Greenwich. A famous fighting venue, the arena has staged some memorable battles in the past and fans of MMA have flocked to buy tickets, ensuring this event will be a sell-out and fighters will do battle with the backing of a unique British sporting atmosphere. It promises to be exciting. Here are our top Darren Till v Jorge Masvidal betting tips.
The best of the card will be shown live on BT Sport and bookmakers have responded to increased levels of interest amongst domestic punters by laying on a host of thrilling betting markets. The evening’s bouts will be interesting, to say the least, but the markets offered means you can ramp up the tension with a financial interest. Have your say on the winner of the main battles or play the method of victory market for your shot at a better price, picking who will win and how they will achieve the result – KO/TKO, submission or points.
Darren Till and Jorge Mavidal go toe-to-toe in the main event and that will be backed by a talent-laden undercard, including Leon Edwards v Gunnar Nelson, Volkan Oezdemir v Dominick Reyes, Nathanial Wood v Jose Alberto Quinonez, Danny Roberts v Claudio Silva and Jack Marshman v John Phillips. There will be a few on the supporting bill that’ll see this as the perfect opportunity to put in a big performance, grab the headlines and drive themselves on to bigger and better things this year.
Englishman Darren Till will enjoy the backing of the crowd on fight night with the Liverpool scrapper growing in popularity on these shores. The 6ft welterweight, nicknamed The Gorilla, is a southpaw fighting out of his home city and he has a background in Muay Thai and Luta Livre, something that shows in his fighting style today. He has been active since 2010 and brings a professional record of 17 wins from 19 starts, 10 of those victories coming by way of knockout, with five on points and two by decision. There’s one loss on his card and one draw.
The spare defeat came against Tyron Woodley last time out when suffering a submission reverse in Dallas, Texas when fighting for the UFC welterweight championship. His night ended in the second round and a quick-fire return to winning ways is needed if he is to push himself back into contention for major honours. What better way to do that than with a big showing in front of an English audience who will be fiercely patriotic from the start. Many close to the game are confident Till will deliver the goods and get the result both he and his army of supporters desire.
The home hero’s last UFC win came over Stephen Thompson on points back in May of last year when topping the card in UFC Fight Night Liverpool, getting the job done over five rounds at a catchweight of 174lb after Till failed to make weight. That was a slight blot on his copybook before the start, but he was able to put that to the back of his mind and grab the victory. Three of Darren’s last four wins have all come on the scorecards and that’s worth keeping in mind when approaching the method of victory betting.
