Yes, Darren Till's last fight was for the UFC Welterweight Championship against Tyron Woodley. And yes, Till ended up getting knocked down and then submitted by Woodley.

However, the 25-year-old British fighter who honed his craft in his adopted country of Brazil, still remains one of the biggest threats to Woodley's UFC Welterweight Title reign. "The Gorilla" was regarded by many as the favorite to dethrone T-Wood, and become the new king at 170-pounds.

Regardless, Till seemed to be a tad overconfident and reckless in pursuing Woodley, and ended up getting knocked down with a hard counter punch by T-Wood. From there onward, the latter used his veteran savvy in order to improve his position, and secure the D'Arce Choke for the stoppage in Round 2 of their bout.

Rest assured that Till will have learnt a lot from his loss, and would surely exercise a greater degree of caution against Woodley in a rematch. Till defended Woodley's takedown attempts well in the first fight, and ultimately fell victim only to a flash knockdown and submission.

Expect Till to be more reserved in his striking, in a rematch against Woodley, and pick apart the latter over the course of 5 rounds – just like Till did to Stephen Thompson before the T-Wood matchup.
