Liverpool’s Darren Till is reportedly very close to securing a UFC Middleweight Championship fight against reigning champ Israel Adesanya. Izzy has stated his respect for the Englishman in the past, and Till has also extended the courtesy back to the 185 king.

Adesanya’s head coach Eugene Bareman recently spoke to Submission Radio regarding the next steps for Izzy in the Middleweight division.

Eugene Bareman on Darren Till

‘There’s no Marvin Vettori, there’s no Paulo Costa. There’s Darren Till,’ Bareman stated. ‘Darren Till needs to win. And Robert Whittaker, because he’s one of our brethren, he’s one of our brothers, he’s a Kiwi. So, there’s two fights, and then what do we do? Jan wins a couple, we win a couple? I don’t know, that’s just me throwing stuff out there. But you’re on the right path.”

‘The problem with middleweight at the moment is Israel has gotten himself into a position where he’s cleaned it out a little bit” Bareman continued. “So, there’s Robert, who’s right there and who’s trudging his way back, who’s grinding his way back. But Darren Till is the front-runner there. Darren Till, and then hopefully Robert. Hopefully, the world’s back to normal and Robert can be a massive fight in Melbourne again, or Auckland. Probably Auckland. How about that?’
