Till had been dealing with a knee injury prior and took to his Instagram stories to say his knee went out again. He then also wished both Hermansson and Kevin Holland well on Twitter.

Good luck to both guys. I’ll be back next year. I hope Kevin gets to showcase himself against one of the top guys of the division… he’s as game as they come!,” Till wrote.

It’s very disappointing news for Darren Till as a win over Hermansson would’ve put him in contention to earn a title shot at middleweight. He had been calling out Israel Adesanya out for some time now but will now have to be on the sidelines a bit longer.

Till is coming off a decision loss to Robert Whittaker in July on Fight Island. Before that, he edged out a decision win over Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 244 to get back into the win column in his middleweight debut. Before the move to 185lbs, he was knocked out by Jorge Masvidal and submitted by Tyron Woodley in a title fight.

Jack Hermansson returned to the win column in July with a 78-second heel hook submission win over Kelvin Gastelum.

He also had suffered a TKO loss to Jared Cannonier to snap his four-fight winning streak where he beat Jacare Souza and David Branch among others.
