UFC Vegas 36 live blog: Derek Brunson vs. Darren Till
This is the UFC Vegas 36 live blog for Derek Brunson vs. Darren Till, the middleweight headliner for Saturday’s fight card at UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
The main event features Brunson, the No. 5 ranked middleweight in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings, opposite No. 10 ranked Till, a one-time welterweight title challenger who moved up to 185 pounds after high-profile setbacks at 170 pounds.
Till’s popularity as a headliner is contrasted by his recent resume in which he’s gone 1-3 in the octagon. Since moving to middleweight, he’s 1-1 with a decision loss to ex-champ Robert Whittaker in his previous outing in July 2020. If he is to stay in the title picture, he’ll need to beat Brunson, a 185-pound veteran who’s won four straight since back-to-back losses in fights against current champ Israel Adesanya and Ronaldo Souza. In his most recent outing, he smothered the surging Kevin Holland.
