Derek Brunson Open to Darren Till Rematch in BKFC
Derek Brunson is open to fighting Darren Till again in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, or BKFC.
Brunson submitted Till in a UFC fight about five years ago, and the two were due to meet again on a Misfits Boxing card in Qatar this April.
The Qatar rematch was called off after conflict in the Middle East disrupted the event.
Till has since joined BKFC and won fights against Aaron Chalmers and Yoel Romero.
Brunson makes his BKFC debut on November 20 against Theo Doukas in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
He says a rematch with Till could make sense, particularly if BKFC stages a fight in the United Kingdom.
No rematch has been confirmed, and Brunson says his immediate focus is his debut.

What people are saying
Darren Till looks like he’s on a revenge tour.
I definitely know he would like to get that lick back and that’s a fight that definitely could make sense.
If BKFC want to go back to the UK, let’s get these numbers right, me and Darren Till, gloves off, let’s do it…
Let me just say, he doesn’t want to get clipped by Blonde Brunson because that might just be the end of it.
