Till and Thompson are two of the best welterweights in the world and with both known for their striking ability, excitement is almost guaranteed.

Till made his presence known with a first round knockout of UFC veteran Donald Cerrone last October, but has not fought since as he awaited this contest with Thompson, who is coming off a decision win over Jorge Masvidal last November after failing in two attempts at Tyron Woodley's welterweight belt.

In the co-main event of the night, Neil Magny was originally scheduled to face Gunnar Nelson, who was forced to pull out due to injury and was replaced by UFC newcomer Craig White.

Another bout on the main card was also scrapped. A bantamweight bout between former runner-up of The Ultimate Fighter 18 Davey Grant and Manny Bermudez was originally scheduled for the event. However it was reported on Thursday (May 24) that the bout had been scrapped after Grant was diagnosed with staph infection.

The card is mainly filled with local talents like Bradley Scott, Craig White, Arnold Allen, Darren Stewart, Tom Breese and Molly McCann all fighting out of England.
