BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Derek Brunson vs. Darren Till:

Kevin Lee, UFC welterweight: Darren Till by TKO/KO.

Jim Miller, UFC lightweight: I’m going to go with Till. His wrestling and grappling are underrated and on the feet, he has the power to hurt Brunson.

Modestas Bukauskas, UFC light heavyweight: Darren Till. I think Till knocks Brunson out.

Sam Alvey, UFC middleweight: I think Brunson can get Till down and use his wrestling to win.

Alonzo Menifield, UFC light heavyweight: Derek Brunson by decision, he will outwrestle Till.

Julian Erosa, UFC featherweight: I got Derek Brunson. His wrestling and his ability to hold them down will be too much for Till.

Georgi Karakhanyan, Bellator lightweight: I think Brunson will shoot for so many takedowns and get himself tired and Till ends up catching him and getting the TKO.

Jason Witt, UFC welterweight: I got Darren Till, I’ll take Till all day. I don’t think Brunson can take him down and on the feet, he’ll just get picked apart.

Andre Petroski, UFC middleweight: Derek Brunson. It’s a close fight and Till has the KO power but I think Brunson can get him to the mat.
