Darren Till vs Luke Rockhold: Betting Insights, Tips & Odds

• When he was an MMA fighter, Till stood out as one of the most remarkable combatants of his generation, often managing to rise despite setbacks. Despite losing five of his last six UFC fights, with his only win being a split decision over Kelvin Gastelum, none of his losses seemed to slow his progress.
• Rockhold, on the other hand, is highly talented and reached the top of the sport but has struggled to regain his footing after a sharp decline. He tried to continue in MMA, then transitioned to BKFC, and now he’s turning to boxing, despite it being the weakest part of his MMA skillset.

Darren Till vs Luke Rockhold Prediction

Both fighters have had their contract cancelled in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) following consecutive losses during their spell. With a career switch into boxing, we can expect much more in this bout. There is a very strong likelihood that one of them might be tempted to make a move that is similar to the grounds of the octagon cage. It is great to see them find a path in mixed martial arts. Darren Till should smoke Luke Rockhold and make his way back to the UFC. He is competitive at MW on any given night. Bring him back against Robert Whittaker and call it a day. That can play a part on any given PPV (or, now, a “numbered” card - given the Paramount+ deal).
