Darren Till doubles down on his challenge to former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor. Earlier this week, the former title contender took to his official Instagram account where he laid out the first challenge. He wants the fight to take place at Anfield, a football stadium in Anfield, Liverpool, England that has a seating capacity of 54,074.

Although he has considered making the move to the middleweight division, if this fight were to happen then it would likely go down at welterweight. This is, of course, a weight that McGregor has fought at before.

Moving along, Till recently explained why he thinks this fight makes sense when writing a recent blog entry on Paddy Power. Till brought up how McGregor has said in the past about having his final fight at Croke Park.

“Anfield has just confirmed the rights to have boxing and music events for the first time ever. I lost my last fight. Conor lost his. We’re both from Europe, he’s a Liverpool fan, I’m a Liverpool fan. I’ve spoken in the past about how I want to sell out a stadium in my home town. He spoke about Croke Park. But I think Croke Park will be for the final fight of his career, his retirement fight.”

Till also brought up how the winner of this potential fight could get a title fight at welterweight. This means that they would challenge the winner of Colby Covington vs. Tyron Woodley.

“But until then, he’s spoken about wanting to fight for the welterweight belt. I obviously want my rematch so if I fight Conor, then the winner could potentially get a shot at the belt after Colby and Woodley fight or Woodley and Usman fight. I’m still the number two in the division. Conor has fought at 170lb before.”

At the end of the day, the former title contender believes that they are the two biggest stars in Europe. Thus, it makes perfect sense to book this fight.

“Why couldn’t we get on? The two biggest stars in Europe, both experts in striking at one of the most iconic stadiums in the world.”

Darren Till calls out former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor for a showdown. The former title contender also has a location for the potential fight that would likely go down at welterweight.

Till is coming off the first loss in his pro-MMA career but is looking ahead. As seen in the main event of the UFC 228 pay-per-view event in Dallas, Texas, Tyron Woodley was able to score a second-round submission victory over Till to retain his welterweight title.

Till earned this title shot with the last win of his pro-MMA career in the main event of UFC Liverpool. Till picked up a unanimous decision win over Stephen Thompson. Before that, he beat Donald Cerrone.

In two recent posts on his Instagram account, he called out McGregor for a fight at Anfield, a football stadium in Anfield, Liverpool, England that has a seating capacity of 54,074. He wrote the following in his first post:

“@thenotoriousmma before your last retirement fight in ?? #Anfield The true ?[Goat].”

Till also commented on this possibility in his Instagram story with the caption, “Let’s go [Conor McGregor] and sell it out!!”

It should be noted that the former champion has made it known that he wants a rematch against Khabib Nurmagomedov. The NSAC still hasn’t ruled on what kind of punishment he faces for the UFC 229 brawl.

Thus, it will be interesting to see when he should fight next.
