Liverpool, May 28: Hometown's Darren Till edges out Stephen Thompson for a decision win in UFC Fight Night 130: Thompson vs. Till at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England on Sunday (May 27).

Till who is usually known for his aggression took a more cautious approach against Thompson in a catchweight bout which took the main event slot in UFC Liverpool.

The undefeated Till continued his streak, but the fight was overshadowed by his failure to miss weight for the scheduled welterweight bout. However, with support from the home crowd, Till edged out Thompson in a very close fight and was rewarded with a unanimous-decision victory, 48-47, 49-46 and 49-46.

In the event's co-headliner, Neil Magny stopped late replacement and promotion newcomer Craig White via a first-round technical knock out (TKO). Magny, who was originally scheduled to face Gunnar Nelson in a welterweight bout called out division's top contender Kamaru Usman after the fight.

Earlier on the main card, Makwan Amirkhani earned a decision win over Jason Knight in a welterweight bout.

Meanwhile, we saw three more stoppage wins with Arnold Allen submitting Mads Burnell via a front choke and Claudio Silva also picking up a submission win over Nordine Taleb in a welterweight bout. The third stoppage was a TKO of Eric Spicely by Darren Steward in the card opener.
