Darren Till choked out by Dricus Du Plessis in UFC comeback fight

Darren Till failed to win his UFC comeback fight as he was choked out by Dricus Du Plessis in a back and forth fight.

Till, 29, was fighting for the first time in over a year against Du Plessis at UFC 282 in Las Vegas. The former welterweight title challenger was in desperate need of a win having lost four of his past five fights heading into the event, with his most recent defeat coming to Derek Brunson last September.

As the fight started, Du Plessis shot for takedown and jumped onto Till's back and the Scouser was taking some big punches on the ground. Du Plessis was hammering away whilst Till was pressed up against the fence and despite 'The Gorilla' being able to get back to his feet he was soon slammed back down.
