Darren Till told UFC announcer Bruce Buffer that he had suffered an injury to his ACL during his loss to Dricus Du Plessis on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
The Liverpool native competed on the main card of UFC 282, alongside his fellow scouser Paddy Pimblett who managed to defeat Jared Gordon in the co-main event. But his luck wasn't as good, as he struggled to get going before having a back-and-forth battle with the South African which ended in third round submission.
Till took a brutal beating in the first round as Du Plessis attempted to finish the fight with a seemingly non-stop onslaught of punches. But it appeared that allowing his rival to punch himself out worked to Till's advantage as he managed to take over the fight in the second.
