Darren Till misses weight for UFC Liverpool main event with Stephen Thompson

The fight is on though.

DARREN TILL’S SCHEDULED showdown with Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson at UFC Fight Night 130 in Liverpool tomorrow will go ahead despite the hometown favourite missing the 171lbs weight limit by 3.5lbs earlier.

Till failed to show for a weigh-in during the two-hour window after 9am.

He was given an extra couple of hours ‘due to a family emergency’ but ultimately missed the weight for the card-topping bout anyway.

Thompson’s camp have negotiated an agreement which will see him take home 30% of his opponent’s purse. Till can’t weigh more than 188lbs and he’ll be on the scales tomorrow at 1pm

Here are the full weigh ins:
