England vs. Italy: UFC on ABC 2 official poster features all-Europe headliner between Darren Till, Marvin Vettori
Two of Europe’s best middleweights will take center stage on April 10.
England’s Darren Till (18-3-1 MMA, 6-3-1 UFC) will take on Italy’s Marvin Vettori (16-4-1 MMA, 6-2-1 UFC) in the UFC on ABC 2 main event, which takes place April 10 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Till has split his first two appearances since moving up to 185 pounds, edging out Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 244 in November 2019, followed by a unanimous decision loss to former champion Robert Whittaker at UFC on ESPN 14 this past July. With UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya eyeing a matchup with Till, the proud Liverpool native will look to cement himself as the No. 1 contender when he faces a hungry Vettori.
Meanwhile, since dropping a narrow decision loss to Adesanya in April 2018, Vettori has won four in a row, most recently defeating Jack Hermansson in a “Fight of the Night” battle in the UFC on ESPN 19 main event.
