if Till wins impressively, I bet Dana gives him the Izzy/Whitaker winner (unless Izzy loses, he'll probably get an immediate rematch)
I'm a little surprised they gave Pimblett a guy who has a win in the UFC. Seems like they'd line him up against a can.
Excited to see Pimblett's debut. Also excited to see Aspinall and I hope Till finds an aggressive killer streak in him. He has so much skill but that killer mentality seems to be missing.

Till was overhyped and thrown to the wolves way too soon; his confidence is shot. He's so basic, for someone with an amazing striking background, with his striking. All he throws is a straight left, no meaningful kicks, nothing with his right hand, no hooks/crosses...I fear he will never live up to his potential because he's a one trick pony. He needs to take a step back and a step down in competition and string up a few wins to get his confidence back. Paddy the Baddy was awesome. Boy is gonna get KTFO though if he doesn't fix that chin n the air.
