UFC Fight Night 118 went down today (Saturday, October 21, 2017) from the Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland. The card was headlined by a welterweight scrap between Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Darren Till, and the up-and-comer picked up the biggest win of his career. Darren blitzed Cerrone and never let him get comfortable, putting his left hand on the vet early and often on his way to a first-round stoppage.
In the co-main event, Karolina Kowalkiewicz got back on track after back-to-back losses to Joanna Champion and Claudia Gadelha by beating UFC newcomer but experienced vet Jodie Esquibel.

Always love fights like Till vs Cerrone: young stud trying to knock off the vet. Throw that scouser accent in the mix and you’ve got something special.

Till comes out hot every time and Cowboy… well, doesn't. Have to feel that if Till wins it'll be by early highlight reel KO.

My hunch? Till gives Cowboy problems early w/ his forward pressure & boxing. Over time, however, Cerrone *should* adapt and win. We'll see.

Till's best chance is to catch Cerrone early, during one of his usually slow starts. If it goes past the second, it's likely Cowboy's fight.

Cerrone does great work when he gets space to breathe, work and throw kicks. If Till can deny him that space, he should win this. #UFCGdansk

Oh man. Darren Till crumpled Cowboy up. #UFCGdansk

Darren Till rose to the occasion. He’s the real deal. #UFCGdansk

What’s next for Till? The bigger question, what’s next for Cowboy. #UFCGdansk

Real clean hands are Cerrone's kryptonite.

There's rising to the occasion and there's what Darren Till just did.
— Fernanda Prates (@NandaPrates_) October 21, 2017
I really struggled with this pick, and should have went with my gut. Regardless, I’m happy for Till, someone I can’t wait to see again.

This is a bit sad. Esquibel has no path to victory whatsoever and Kowalkiewicz is just doing whatever she wants.

Kowalkiewicz vs. Andrade? YES, PLEASE. #UFCGdansk
