Stephen Thompson was on the wrong side of a unanimous decision to Darren Till in the main event of UFC Fight Night Liverpool.
Even though the fight was close from bell to bell, one thing Thompson was sure of ♒is 🏅that he won the controversial bout.
“I thought I edged it out, but he’s definitely a big boy,” Thompson said after the event. “You could feel his weight out there a little bit. But you know what, it is what it is.”
Thompson saw all three judge’s scorecards go in favor of Till, with those cards reading 49-46, 48-47 and 49-46. Even UFC President Dana White admitted after the event that he had a 🍎hard time scoring the five round encount✨er.
One major concern Thompson has is his surgically repaired left leg, which was attacked by Til🔯l for the major♏ity of the fight.
“My left leg just a little bit,” Thompson said. “It kept me from moving around like I wanted to, but no excuses. I want to get my left leg checked out, and then see where we go from there.”
Till now becomes only the third fighter to hand Thompson a loss in the UFC, with the other two being UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley and Matt Brown.
