UFC Fight Night 147 Predictions

1. Darren Till Vs. Jorge Masvidal

There have been some impressive main events to grace the British isles, but this has one has to be the best of the best. In Darren Till and Jorge Masvidal, we have two relevant, in their prime fighters who both have exceptional skills duking it out to bring themselves back into title contendership.

Masvidal is the more experienced and well-rounded fighter out of the two, mixing up a solid boxing game with some sneaky yet effective submission grappling skills along the way. Masvidal's favourite move is the D'arce choke, the same submission that took Till out in his title match against former champ, Tyron Woodley.

While Masvidal is known to trade strikes with his opponents, that could be detrimental against someone like Till who almost bludgeons them with every strike in his arsenal. He's a ferocious, relentless and very big welterweight who will be looking to cut Masvidal off at the cage and punish him with strikes when his back's against the wall.

Till will be looking to make a statement in his home country, especially with a new champion at the top of the division and he should be able to do that against Masvidal on Saturday night.
