Today’s Misfits 22 event was headlined by a bridgerweight boxing match between former UFC stars Luke Rockhold and Darren Till.
Rockhold (16-6 MMA) was returning to action for the first time since scoring a third-round TKO victory over Joe Schilling under the Karate Combat banner in April of 2024. The former UFC middleweight champion was very confident he would be able to play spoiler against his British opponent this afternoon in England.
Meanwhile, Darren Till (18-5-1 MMA) had previously gone 2-0 in Boxing in 2025, this while earning wins over Anthony Taylor and Darren Stewart. The former UFC welterweight title challenger was hoping that a victory this afternoon could lead to a future confrontation with MMA star Nate Diaz.
Today’s Misfits 22 main event resulted in an absolutely brutal third round knockout from former UFC title challenger Darren Till. ‘The Gorilla’ was able to get the better of Luke Rockhold throughout the opening two rounds, scoring a late knockdown in round one, this before eventually shutting ‘Rocky’s’ lights out with a huge combination early in round three. It was a terrific performance from the Liverpool native, who proceeded to callout Carl Froch in his post-fight interview (see below).
