Former UFC stars Darren Till, Yoel Romero set for BKFC 94 clash

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship fighters Darren Till and Yoel Romero are set to collide in bare-knuckle boxing.

Till parted ways with the UFC in 2022 on a three-fight slump, promising to return to the promotion someday. “The Gorilla” then won three boxing bouts under the Misfits banner, even winning the title against Luke Rockhold last year. The Brit then parted ways with Misfits earlier this year to sign with BKFC, where he knocked out Aaron Chalmers in his debut this past May.

Meanwhile, Romero has competed in various boxing, bare-knuckle boxing and wrestling promotions since retiring from MMA in 2024. “Soldier of God” earned a knockout win in his BKFC debut last year, but dropped a decision at IBA Bare Knuckle this past March. The 49-year-old has since rebounded with a knockout win at Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA in May.
