Neil Magny has received a new opponent for his upcoming fight at UFC Liverpool.

Originally, Magny was slated to take on Gunnar Nelson in a welterweight bout at this show. However, that bout got scrapped after Nelson had to pull out due to a knee injury.

This lead to UFC officials looking for a replacement opponent to take on Magny and fortunately, they have found someone.

On Tuesday, May 15, 2018, it was officially announced that promotional newcomer Craig White, who holds a 14-7 pro-MMA record, has agreed to sign with the UFC and fight Magny at this show. This bout will remain as the co-main event.

Magny is looking to gain some more momentum after picking up a win over former title contender Carlos Condit back in December at UFC 219.

On the flip side, White comes into this fight riding a four fight winning streak while competing under the Cage Warriors banner.

UFC Liverpool is set to take place on May 27, 2018, at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England.

The main card will air on FOX Sports 1 while the preliminary card will be split broadcasted on FOX Sports 1 at and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass. Darren Till vs. Stephen Thompson will headline this show. Here is the updated card:

UFC welterweight contender Darren Till snapped back at internet trolls who laid into him after Till recently posted a video of him dropping an overmatched training partner.

Till is preparing for the biggest fight in his young MMA career in Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson, and posted a video of himself looking pretty sharp, but it was against an unknown, nameless training partner.

The internet trolls ripped into Till for bullying the downed training partner, and Till has had enough (via MMA Fighting):

Rounds upon rounds upon rounds @ufceurope

A post shared by Till (@darrentill2) on

The ensuing response prompted Till to post a lengthy diatribe, claiming the training partner in question had actually gone a “few (hard) rounds”, and that they both got their licks in:

“For all you dumb cunts commenting on my previous video talking shit, saying that it’s bullying. Giving my training partner shit saying he is not worthy to be in there with me! We had a good few rounds together were he gave me a smack and I gave him one, it was a hard day and I feel I have it my all and that previous video was a good clip of me landing some shots. All you internet fighters haven’t got a fucking clue so stick to internet fighting and leave the real fighting to us! Here is a video which I posted last December of me taking a smack! I post when I’m hitting and I post when I’m taking a smack, so keep talking shit!”

Till will fortunately have the crowd’s support when he takes on ‘Wonderboy’, as the two will be the main event in Till’s native Liverpool.

Did Till go overboard with an overmatched training partner in the first video?

It didn’t take long for Neil Magny to fire back at Jorge Masvidal.

It’s been well established that Gunnar Nelson is out of his scheduled welterweight bout at UFC Liverpool against Magny.

Just last month it was revealed that he had to pull out due to a knee injury. UFC officials are currently looking for a replacement opponent to take on Magny.

Nelson has not been seen in the Octagon since he suffered a first-round knockout loss to Santiago Ponzinibbio in the main event of the UFC Fight Night 113 event in Scotland last July.

Magny is looking to gain some more momentum after picking up a win over former title contender Carlos Condit back in December at UFC 219.

Earlier this week, Jorge Masvidal went on record by stating that he offered to replace Nelson against Magny but the fight had to be at a catchweight. Masvidal then claimed that Magny rejected the offer.

Magny caught wind of Masvidal’s comments in this interview and decided to take to his official Twitter account to respond to these claims. He wrote the following:

“I’ll gladly fight him at any weight 170 up….truth is he’s an unprofessional slob who is unable to make weight on 4weeks notice and the UFC said no.”

UFC Liverpool is set to take place on May 27, 2018, at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England.

The main card will air on FOX Sports 1 while the preliminary card will be split broadcasted on FOX Sports 1 at and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass. Darren Till vs. Stephen Thompson will headline this show.

A couple weeks ago, the UFC drew a small amount of criticism when the poster came out for May 27’s UFC Fight Night 130 from Echo Arena in Liverpool, England.

While that’s not a hard thing to find on social media these days, the official poster was perhaps justified in its criticism because it was far too basic to convey the potential electricity generated by the Stephen Thompson vs. Darren Till welterweight main event.

Check it out right here and decide for yourself:

If you didn’t like it, not to worry – popular MMA poster artist bosslogic had his own exciting rendition featuring a Karate Kid re-imagining, and it was so exciting that Thompson himself had to give his own props online.

There’s little doubt that the creative rendition of the classic karate movie (which is, coincidentally, seeing its own resurgence on YouTube this week), is an amazing, individual pairing of Thompson and Till that sets the stage for an anticipated feature bout in the UFC’s first venture to Liverpool.

The Liverpudlian fans will be going wild for hometown rising star Till, and at that point, the poster obviously won’t matter.

You have to wonder if the UFC could have stepped up their design game for a fight with so many unique dynamics, however, especially given they’re owned by a Hollywood giant with a knack for success in a town full of flash.
