Darren Till targeting “dream matchup” with Israel Adesanya in England

Darren Till has laid out his plan to fight Israel Adesanya for the UFC middleweight title in England.

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

'The Gorilla' is still ranked at 185lb despite his poor run of form and is hoping a win against Du Plessis can progress him further up the rankings. Till has been calling for a fight against Adesanya for years and with 'Stylebender' losing his UFC title to Alex Pereira last month, the Liverpudlian thinks it's inevitable the pair will eventually meet in the octagon.
