One-time UFC title challenger Darren Till is set for his return to action.

In his first fight since parting ways with the UFC, Till will compete in four-round cruiserweight matchup against Moh Mutie on the main card of Saturday’s Social Knockout 3 boxing event at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. On Friday, Till and Mutie went face-to-face at the event’s ceremonial weigh-ins, where the energy levels were off the charts for both competitors.

Check out their final faceoff below.

Till weighed in at 199.5 pounds, while Motie hit the scale at 200.2 pounds.

Till steps into combat for his first bout since a stoppage loss to current UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis at UFC 282 in December 2022. “The Gorilla” made 12 octagon appearances, going 6-5-1, but dropped three straight, and five of six before moving on from the company. The 31-year-old fought for the UFC welterweight title at UFC 228 in September 2018, suffering a second-round TKO loss to Tyron Woodley.

Mutie is a five-fight pro MMA veteran, and enters the bout unbeaten in his past two appearances — a draw and a first-round TKO stoppage victory for Middle East Fighting Championship — and has also competed three times for UAE Warriors.

Social Knockout 3 will stream on Ex-Sports.TV for $ 9.99.
