Darren Till Returns for His Second BKFC Fight
Darren Till has quickly become one of the most recognizable names on the BKFC roster.
The Liverpool-born fighter made his bare-knuckle debut at BKFC 90, defeating Aaron Chalmers by second-round knockout. That victory gave Till a 1-0 BKFC record heading into his Manchester main event. BKFC’s official fighter profile highlights his previous MMA career against names including Dricus Du Plessis, Robert Whittaker, Kelvin Gastelum and Stephen Thompson.
Till also brings considerable striking experience from his years in MMA and professional boxing. His move to bare-knuckle competition represents another stage of a combat sports career that has included a UFC welterweight title challenge and a number of high-profile middleweight contests.
The key difference at BKFC 94 is the environment. Without traditional boxing gloves, Till will have to adapt his striking, defense and distance management to BKFC’s bare-knuckle rules.
Yoel Romero’s BKFC Experience
Yoel Romero also enters BKFC 94 with a 1-0 record in the promotion.
The Cuban former Olympic wrestler made his BKFC debut against Theo Doukas at BKFC 80 in September 2025. Romero won that contest, establishing himself as one of the promotion’s most recognizable crossover stars. BKFC’s official profile lists the Till fight as his next BKFC appearance.
Romero is one of the most experienced combat athletes on the card. His background includes elite freestyle wrestling, an Olympic silver medal and a long MMA career at the highest level.
He is also coming off additional bare-knuckle experience outside BKFC, including a knockout victory over Alex Nicholson earlier in 2026, according to pre-fight reports.
Till vs Romero: What Makes This Fight Interesting?
The matchup is notable because both fighters have extensive experience in other combat sports but relatively limited BKFC experience.
Till has spent much of his career as a striker, while Romero built his reputation around elite wrestling and explosive athleticism before becoming a dangerous MMA knockout artist.
That creates several intriguing questions for BKFC 94:
How quickly will Till settle into the bare-knuckle format?
Can Romero use his experience and physicality to control the pace?
How will both fighters manage defense without conventional boxing gloves?
Will Till’s striking background translate directly to the BKFC rule set?
Can Romero’s explosive power remain a major factor as he takes on another experienced striker?
Rather than simply being a fight between two former UFC names, Till vs Romero represents a meeting between two different combat sports backgrounds in a format where small technical adjustments can have a significant impact.
