10 Spine-Tingling UFC Homecomings

3. Darren Till (Liverpool, UFC Fight Night: Thompson Vs Till)

If you've ever had the chance to witness Liverpool F.C.'s home stadium of Anfield belt out a shiver-inducing rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone, you'll have some idea as to how passionate scousers can be when given the chance to back their own stars.

So, when Darren Till was announced in the main event of Fight Night 130 at Liverpool's Echo Arena, a homecoming like no other was inevitably on the cards.

Yet, even though a warm welcome was to be expected, no one could foresee the degree of intense vocal worshipping that took place when Till skipped down to the Octagon.

Sweet Caroline was blaring and the scouse fans were firmly in their boy's corner from the get-go. It led to the kind of adrenaline fuelled performance most fighters only dream of and Till outfought one of the Welterweight division's top stars in Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson for the decision win.

At just 26 years of age, Till still has time to add another spine-tingling homecoming to his resume and he's been hinting at a dream Anfield mega-fight for some time in the future - just imagine that noise.
