This is the live blog for Darren Till vs. Aaron Chalmers, the co-main event fight at BKFC 90 at Utilita Arena in Birmingham, England, on Saturday afternoon.
A former UFC welterweight title challenger, Till has been on a combat sports sojourn since leaving the UFC in 2022. “The Gorilla” took some time off before taking his talents to boxing, competing in exhibition bouts and influencer bouts before making his professional debut against Luke Rockhold last year. Despite going 4-0 in boxing, Till has now decided to leave the sweet science behind and try his hand at bare-knuckle, signing with BKFC in April and making his debut this weekend.
A reality TV star, Chalmers has parlayed his fame into a solid combat sports career. Chalmers sports a 5-2 record in MMA under the BAMMA and Bellator banners, and has nearly as many boxing matches under his belt, including an exhibition fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2023. Most recently, Chalmers has been competing in BKFC, going 2-0 in the promotion in 2025. He looks to make it three wins in a row against his toughest opponent to date.

Alrighty, y’all. It’s time to see what Darren Till looks like in BKFC. The man has been doing well in boxing, but this is a completely different ball game, and we’ve seen experience matter here. Chalmers certainly has that.

Tale of the tape says Till and Chalmers are *virtually identical* in most categories, except the odds. Till is a massive betting favorite at -1250, with the comeback on Chalmers close to +650.
Chalmers walks out to “My Way.” Just by looking at him, you would have no idea he’s about to get into a fist fight.
Till out to “Losing My Religion.” He is much more animated than Chalmers. Also, he’s looking huge. Man is on some great vitamins.
