Overview
- The former UFC rivals headline Misfits Boxing 22 on Saturday at Manchester’s AO Arena, airing on DAZN pay-per-view.
- Thursday’s press conference turned physical as Darren Till and Luke Rockhold had to be separated multiple times, with Dillon Danis also involved as security intervened during a chaotic faceoff.
- Michael Bisping, who upset Rockhold in 2016, publicly predicted a Till knockout and noted it could lessen the shine of his own past win.
- Till said he expects to fight Andrew Tate in December under the Misfits banner, a matchup that has not been formally announced or confirmed.
- Till previously accused Rockhold of PED use, a claim Rockhold denied and Bisping dismissed; the bout is contracted at 193 pounds, and an eight-round change was discussed after initially being set for six.
- The card also features Tony Ferguson vs. Salt Papi in the co-main event and Dillon Danis returning in an MMA bout.
