Darren Till will try to switch up his approach when he steps into the octagon against Jack Hermansson in December. ‘The Gorilla’ is currently 2-3 in his last five fights and doesn’t seem to have caught the right momentum as yet. However, he has a plan that he would like to follow on his return to the octagon.

News about their cash broke out in August. The event is still to receive a full fight card and even officially announce a venue. Nevertheless, the middleweight contender has begun setting up a plan to secure the victory.

He sat down with MMA Junkie and discussed the upcoming bout as well as his injury. The fighter tore his MCL against Robert Whittaker on Fight Island. Since then he has been recuperating and has trained his knee. Unfortunately for the fans and the fighter, it isn’t quite ready yet.

Till said, “Yeah, my knee is still 85-90% still, so I’ve got to do a bit more strengthening on it, not pushing too hard. Obviously sort of work on strategies in terms of what Jack is going to come in and do.”

Darren Till conceptualizes a plan

Detailing the plan, Darren Till said, “He is going to come in and attack the neck and attack the leg and look for a quick sub. So I have got to be physically and mentally prepared for that…I think it is going to be a very strategic fight. I don’t want to go in there and play it like I have played my last few fights. Like sort of waiting for them to miss and then hit them with that one shot!”

Making sure he has the upper hand, Till plans on playing this fight differently. He said, “If I can defend well his attacks, I’ll be really looking to really put combinations together and put him out early. That is what I’ll be looking for. So we’ll see!”

Darren Till took the loss against Robert Whittaker at Fight Island while Hermansson secured a quick first-round submission victory over Kelvin Gastelum. Given their positions in the rankings, their matchup is set to be an interesting one. Who do you think will walk out victorious on December 5?
