Till brutally KOs Rockhold at Misfits Boxing 22

Darren Till knocked out former UFC champion Luke Rockhold in devastating fashion in the Misfits Boxing 22 main event Saturday in Manchester, England.

The finish came at the 1:08 mark of the third round.

Till dropped Rockhold late in the first round and then unleashed a vicious combination that put him to sleep in the third.

Till, a former UFC title challenger, improved to 3-0 since his Misfits Boxing debut earlier this year. He beat Anthony Taylor by TKO in January and then took home a unanimous decision over former UFC fighter Darren Stewart in May.

Till, 32, parted ways with the UFC in 2023 after eight years. The Liverpool native challenged Tyron Woodley for the welterweight title in 2018 but lost by submission. He left the promotion on a three-fight losing streak, though two of those losses were against former champions Dricus Du Plessis and Robert Whittaker. Till's most recent MMA victory came in November 2019.

Rockhold was making his Misfits Boxing debut. The 40-year-old retired from MMA in August 2022 after a loss to Paulo Costa at UFC 278, though he's bounced between various combat sports since then. Rockhold lost to Mike Perry in a bare-knuckle boxing match in 2023 and beat Joe Schilling in a Karate Combat bout in 2024.
