#4 Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thomson vs Darren Till

Darren Till finishes Cowboy Cerrone via TKO (punches)

Stephen Thomson, the No.1 contender, has already fought Woodley twice, so he is not getting another shot at the title anytime soon. Although he beat Jorge Masvidal via unanimous decision in his last fight, he should have at least one more win to stay in the race for the belt in 2018.

At the same time anyone who beats Wonderboy would find himself in a position to call out the champion. And the one fighter who has been itching to fight Thomson for some time now is Darren 'the Gorilla' Till.

The 24-year-old fighter from Liverpool is undefeated so far in his career with 16 wins from 17 fights, 12 of those wins came via stoppage. The British fans too have been rooting for this fight after Till's TKO victory over the then No.6 ranked welterweight Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone. After Dan Hardy, Till is the most prominent British athlete to compete for the Welterweight title.
