Darren Till vs Stephen Thompson: 5 Talking points

UFC Fight Night Weigh-in
Darren 'The Gorilla' Till will face his biggest test against Thompson

#2 Master of the lead leg kick

UFC 170: Whittaker v Thompson
Wonderboy's kick against Whittaker

Wonderboy has clearly developed mastery in his style and one of the most accomplished strikers in UFC, but people tend to forgot how good he is just because of the two Woodley fights.

Apart from Woodley, only Matt Brown has a history of coming out of the octagon with his hands high after facing wonderboy.

What makes him special? It's his Karate acumen, he is the master of the sneaky lead leg kick and has a lot of other tricky tools in his arsenal.

His karate style with hands low standing sideways coupled with his movement and change of angles is hard to get past for any opponent.

Jhonny Hendricks sought to get past him on Fight Night Las Vegas and got hit with a front roundhouse kick.

Lead leg kicks are one of the sneakiest weapons in martial arts, and when the opponent get too obsessed with it, the back leg comes into action.

Wonderboy's kicks are going to be very crucial in this fight and Darren Till should watch out for it.
