The UFC 282 middleweight bout between Dricus Du Plessis and Darren Till ended up being a dramatic affair that ended when Du Plessis secured a submission in the third round.
The fight opened in dominant fashion for Du Plessis when the South African got Till to the fence and started unloading with short punches. Even though the strikes didn’t appear capable of knocking Till out, the sheer volume of them and the Englishman’s apparent unwillingness to move resulted in several warnings from the referee.
“Stillknocks” appeared to have slowed down a bit in the second round, which allowed Till to start having some success on the feet. The 29-year-old landed a few hard punches and had Du Plessis biting on his feints, but a takedown in the final minute saw the South African end the round with a leg lock attempt.
Both men seemed tired early in the third round, but a second wind from Du Plessis resulted in an easy takedown where he immediately ended up in mount. Till quickly gave up his back in order to escape, but a rear-naked choke forced “The Gorilla” to frantically tap with just over two minutes left in the fight.
