Earlier today (Fri. March 15, 2019) the UFC London ceremonial weigh-ins went down.

Tomorrow the action will all commence from the O2 Arena in London, England. In the main event, former UFC welterweight title challenger Darren Till faces off against Jorge Masvidal. The pair faced off for the final time before they fight tomorrow. Check it out here:

Till comes off the first professional defeat of his mixed martial arts (MMA) career. He was submitted by Tyron Woodley in the main event of UFC 228 in Texas. Now, after briefly considering a middleweight jump, the Englishman is back at 170 pounds to welcome back Masvidal.

“Gamebred” hasn’t fought since November of 2017. He was defeated by Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson via unanimous decision at UFC 217. The loss marked Masvidal’s second in a row. Now, he hopes to get back into the top 10 of the division with a win over the No. 3-ranked Till. Make sure to keep it locked with LowKickMMA during UFC London for the latest coverage of the event!

Jorge Masvidal Growing Sick Of MMA’s Trash Talk Era

Jorge Masvidal is growing a bit sick of the current trash-talking culture in MMA right now. Luckily he and Darren Till have kept it classy in London.

Jorge Masvidal is growing a bit sick of the current trash-talking culture in MMA right now. Luckily he and Darren Till have kept it classy in London.

The two will meet in UFC on ESPN+ 5’s main event on Saturday in London, England.

Although Till has a reputation as a trash talker, the back-and-forth between he and Masvidal has been respectful during UFC London’s fight week. Today’s (Thurs., March 14, 2019) media day was no exception. Make no mistake, “Gamebred” is digging it.

“I could talk if I wanted to, but what am I going to say? ‘Oh, you’re a punk,’ and then he calls my mom names? It’s (expletive) childish,” Masvidal said (courtesy of MMA Junkie). “I get it – the 17-year-olds are (expletive) eating this (expletive) up, and maybe a little bit older than that – maybe some people never got out of high school. But if it’s not like a genuine dislike between two people, and it’s not creative, either, where it’s just that annoying (expletive)-talk – ‘You’re an idiot.’ ‘Well, you’re stupid.’ – it’s (expletive) so stupid, man.”

Some fans have called Masvidal out for the obvious contradiction. That is, one of his best friends is none other than the most hated man in modern day MMA, Colby Covington. Of course, Covington got a significant push after he started using his mouthpiece.

However, Covington’s case is a unique one as Masvidal tells it.

“Colby’s a particular case because we’ve been friends for a long time,” Masvidal said. “I’ve known him six years, plus. So it’s more than just teammates – we’re good friends, and he’s doing his thing. Am I a fan of that? I mean, whatever – it’s not really what I care for. Everybody’s doing it. It’s not just Colby. I don’t want to just pick on Colby. Everybody’s doing it.

“Can you get mad at Colby because he wants to put extra money in his pocket? No. But when you think about it, everybody’s going to be doing it? What the (expletive), man? Nobody has a little bit of personality? Nobody’s like, ‘I’m going to be myself today; I’m not gonna insult your mom.’ It’s corny, and it’s only going to get worse. We’re seeing it more and more. And I know you guys do it because the clickbait works so well and the fans eat it up.”

Masvidal and Till headline UFC on ESPN+ 5. The card takes place on Saturday at The O2 in London. The card streams on ESPN+.

Ben Askren seems unphased and undeterred by both Darren Till and Jorge Masvidal preemptively rejecting a fight against him. Both fighters had their reasons for dismissing Ben Askren as a potential next opponent. For Jorge Masvidal, Askren should give Robbie Lawler a rematch for what Masvidal believes to be an inauthentic victory and that Askren […]

Ben Askren has been digging into former UFC welterweight title challenger Darren Till quite a bit lately.

The Englishman is preparing to main event UFC London against Jorge Masvidal this weekend (Sat. March 16, 2019). For the past several weeks, Askren has been poking fun at Till and teasing a future clash with “The Gorilla” should he emerge victorious.

However, in effort not to count “Gamebred” out just yet, Askren also claims he has beef with Masvidal, and would be happy to fight him if he were to win Saturday night. Askren had this to say on Twitter:

“I know I have been picking in @darrentill2 a lot, but @GamebredFighter I think you suck too. Best of luck Saturday guys.”

“I actually don’t like @GamebredFighter bc I hammered him at ATT when I was training MMA for 2 months and he wants to pretend it didn’t happen. I don’t like liars.”

Askren comes off a successful UFC debut at the UFC 235 pay-per-view (PPV) two weeks ago. He survived an early onslaught from former 170-pound king Robbie Lawler to secure a first-round submission win. Albeit an extremely controversial one.

Now, “Funky” will be in attendance for UFC London this weekend, hoping to face off with the winner of Till vs. Masvidal and set up his next UFC bout.
