A few hours ago, it stood clear that No. 9 ranked middleweight Darren Till is out of the bout against No. 8 ranked Jack Hermansson, due to an undisclosed injury. The fight was supposed to happen at the stacked UFC London event on July 23.
However, it seems like Chris ”The Action Man” Curtis will step in and replace Till in the co-main event, as the organization’s official website lists him as ”The Joker’s” new opponent.
”Superman, Action Man.. it’s all the same when the punches start flying. See you guys in London,” Curtis recently wrote on Instagram.
