Although no main event has been anounced, welterweight standout Darren Till (16-0-1 MMA, 4-0-1 UFC), a Liverpool native, will headline against an opponent still to be determined. The Sunday event is expected to air on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.
In addition to Till, UFC Fight Night 130 has two middleweight bouts already secured: Tom Breese (10-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) will take on Daniel Kelly (13-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC), and Elias Theodorou (14-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) will meet Trevor Smith (15-7 MMA, 5-4 UFC).
Although the event had not been officially announced by the UFC prior to today, it was expected to take place at 3Arena in Dublin before this shift to Liverpool.
“I can’t believe UFC is finally coming to Liverpool and I’m going to be headlining Echo Arena,” Till stated. “My name is going to be remembered in 200 years’ time for being part of this historical event and I can’t even describe how much that means to me.”
