As seen in the fight, Brunson came out strong in the first round with a quick takedown where he mauled the former title challenger with punches and elbows. Till did get up to his feet with a minute to go. Till said to his corner before the second round that he thought Brunson was tired.
In the second round, Till stopped the first takedown attempt with the clinch. However, Brunson got him down on the second time and rained down strikes. Till started to kick more in the third round. Moments later, Brunson got a takedown then full mount before Till gave up his back. Brunson locked in the rear-naked choke from the back for the win.
