Former UFC title challenger Darren Till will return  against No. 13 ranked Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 282 on December 10.

The fight was first reported by ESPN’s Brett Okamoto.

Till last fought Derek Brunson in September 2021, and lost via third-round submission. The Liverpool fighter has lost four of his last five bouts since moving up to the middleweight division. His new opponent Du Plessis has won five straight fights and is undefeated with 3-0 in the UFC.

Darren Till (@darrentill2) said he’d return before the end of a year, before a monster “comeback” in 2023. The return is in the works. Till vs. Dricus du Plessis (@dricusduplessis) verbally agreed for UFC 282 on Dec. 10. pic.twitter.com/ZZzWSZughZ
