Du Plessis Looking to Take Till’s Spot

Till had his time. Now, it’s Du Plessis’s time. At least that’s what he and his backers are expecting. The online sports betting odds certainly support this narrative. The 28-year-old is a former KSW champion and is a well-rounded MMA fighter, even if he’s made a name for himself with his kickboxing prowess.

Four of his last six victories have come by way of knockout, including one over Roberto Soldic, who has been terrorizing international promotions. But while Du Plessis has dynamite in his hands, he’s also a potent grappler. In fact, nine of his 17 wins have come by submission.

Don’t scoff at Du Plessis’s 18 percent takedown accuracy in the UFC. That is a small sample size and a lot of it came against Brad Tavares, who has an 80 percent takedown defense. Du Plessis will mix it up and be a danger to Till or to anyone at middleweight.

Does Till Still Have It?

The answer better is an emphatic “YES!” if Till is to pull off an upset here. “The Gorilla” was once an unstoppable prospect. But since getting a title shot at 170 pounds, he’s won just one of his last five fights. In fact, Till has either lost or pulled out of a fight more times (seven) than he’s won in the UFC (six).

While Till is only 29, he has been through so many injuries that it’s worth questioning if he’s still the same fighter. If he is, then +150 to bet online on him is a good investment. After all, Till is 4-1-1 as an underdog in the UFC. Bettors would still be up big on Till.

The key for Till is to be the more disciplined fighter here. He defends against 58 percent of the significant strikes thrown at him and he has fought tougher opponents.

Till vs Du Plessis Head-to-Head

Till and Du Plessis are close to the same size and age. Both also fight in the southpaw stance, though Du Plessis can switch stances. As Mike Goldberg used to say, they are (nearly) “virtually identical.”
