Darren Till shocked the mixed martial arts (MMA) world earlier today (Sat., October 21, 2017) when he put down longtime UFC veteran Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in the first round of their match-up in the main event of UFC Gdansk.

Till came into the fight with an unbeaten record, having won nine of his 15 career wins via knockout and two via submission. “The Gorilla” was able to put the pressure on “Cowboy” early, neutralize his takedown attempts, and pour on a barrage of punches that would force the referee to call the fight off.

In his post-fight interview, Till doubled down on a callout he has been making for the past several weeks – fellow up-and-coming welterweight star “Platinum” Mike Perry. Perry was in attendance for the fight and jumped up onto the Octagon outside the cage and the pair exchanged words. It was quite the sight to see and laid the groundwork for what could perhaps be one of the best fights of the year if indeed made.

“Platinum” first needs to get past upcoming opponent Santiago Ponzinibio when they collide at UFC on FOX 26 on December 16, 2017, from the Bell MTS Place in Winnipeg, Canada, however.

For now, you can check out Till’s callout of Perry right here:

Highlights: Darren Till Demolishes Donald Cerrone At UFC Gdansk

Unbeaten British welterweight Darren Till had a golden opportunity to burst onto the UFC welterweight ranks when he fought longtime contender Donald Cerrone in the main event of today’s (Sat., October 21, 2017) UFC Fight Night 118 from the Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland, but not many were giving him a shot against the feared veteran.

Unbeaten British welterweight Darren Till had a golden opportunity to burst onto the UFC welterweight ranks when he fought longtime contender Donald Cerrone in the main event of today’s (Sat., October 21, 2017) UFC Fight Night 118 from the Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland, but not many were giving him a shot against the feared veteran.

However, Till did exactly what he predicted in the lead-up to the fight and dominated Cerrone from the opening bell (at least for a long as the fight lasted), blasting him with a vicious shot early followed by a stinging elbow that opened the floodgates for a brutal onslaught of ground shots that left referee Marc Goddard with no choice but to call the bout in the first round.

Till looked huge and overpowering, truly appearing to be the size of a middleweight, and it seemed like ‘Cowboy,’ who is now beginning to show the wear and tear of being perhaps the most active fighter in UFC history, was never truly in the fight at any point against the larger and younger “Gorilla.” The future looks extremely bright for the brash Brit all of the sudden, and he called out fellow surging young competitor Mike “Platinum” Perry in his post-fight interview.

There will be many match-ups discussed for Till in the stacked welterweight division in the coming weeks, and they should all present new and exciting bouts.

Now, it’s time for Till to enjoy his biggest-ever win in MMA by a longshot. Check out the combination that marked the beginning of the end for Cerrone here:

UFC Fight Night 118 emanated today (Saturday, October 21, 2017) from the Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland. The show was headlined by Darren Till’s coming out party against established vet Donald Cerrone. Till made a huge statement by dispatching “Cowboy” in the very first round behind crisp punches, particularly his left hand. He banked an extra $50,000 for his Performance of the Night.

The other Performance of the Night check went to fellow main card winner Jan Blachowicz, who pulled off a no-hooks rear-naked choke on Devin Clark. It was a huge win for Blachowicz in front of his hometown crowd, as he was coming off two straight disappointing losses and might have had his back against the wall. Not only does he get to keep his roster spot, but he takes home an extra $50,000.

The Fight of the Night went to bantamweights Brian Kelleher and Damian Stasiak. Kelleher had Stasiak outgunned, but the Pole was tough and game and continued to throw back. Kelleher had crisper, more powerful punches but ate several damaging spinning back kicks throughout the battle. And whenever Kelleher spilled onto the mat, Kelleher again had the advantage, threatening with his trademark guillotine again and again. Stasiak had his moments but slowly wore down, perhaps sped along by a broken nose suffered early in the bout. Kelleher finally put Stasiak away late in the third behind an intercepting punching combination. Both men left $50,000 richer for their exciting scrap.
