Darren Till has been warned by legendary two-weight UFC champion Daniel Cormier that his career "might be over" if he loses his comeback fight this weekend.
The Scouse middleweight is back in action for the first time in over a year on Saturday night when he faces Dricus Du Plesis at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Till requested that the pair's bout on the undercard of UFC 282 be a three-round affair, after taking part almost exclusively in five-rounders since 2017.
He is under fierce pressure in Las Vegas when he faces the South African, having gone 1-4 in his last five fights, including three stoppage defeats. He was previously unbeaten before facing Tyron Woodley in 2018 for the welterweight title, but has only won once since, and has also dealt with a string of cancellations and injuries.
