Till (16-0-1) is coming off of his first main event appearance for the UFC, defeating Donald Cerrone by first round TKO at UFC Fight Night Gdansk. Till is still undefeated as a professional MMA fighter and it is an undefeated streak that has lasted almost five years now. Till is also a former MMA Sanda Combat Welterweight Champion, defeating Laerte Costa E Silva to win the belt in 2015.

Nelson has suffered all of his professional MMA defeats in the UFC, with two of those losses coming by way of decision. Nelson has also earned six of his seven wins in the UFC by submission, with the other victory coming by decision.
