Nu står det dock klart att Thompson vs. Till fortfarande kommer bli av. ”Wonderboys” team har nått en överenskommelse med UFC och bägge fighters stirrade alldeles nyss ner varandra på den ceremoniella invägningen.
Fight is on. Till can’t weigh over 188 at 1 pm tomorrow, forfeits 30 percent of purse, all to Wonderboy.

Thompson vs. Till is on. Here are the terms of the deal, per sources:

If Till misses weight, another negotiation will have to happen but they will cross that bridge when they get there. News of the fight being finalized was first reported by @MMAjunkieJohn.

In the midst of the negotiation I was told one plan was no higher than 185 for Till, so this seems like somewhat of a win for the Scouser. FWIW, a source told me Till did in fact have a family emergency which affected his cut. Till hasn’t commented yet on today’s events.
