Donald Cerrone is one of the most well-loved fighters in the UFC, but he’s hit a rough patch with two consecutive losses in his last bouts. He’d won four straight prior to that and will try to right the ship in the main event of UFC Gdansk, also known as UFC Fight Night 118: Cerrone vs. Till.

The card is a UFC Fight Pass exclusive and will begin at 11:45 a.m. ET Saturday with a slate of preliminary bouts. The main card will also be streamed on Fight Pass beginning at 3 p.m from the Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland.
Cerrone lost to Rafael dos Anjos in his lightweight title shot back in 2015, prompting his move to welterweight. There, Cerrone won four straight fights, including wins over Matt Brown and Rick Story. Unfortunately, his run ended when he was knocked out by Jorge Masvidal in January, and he was on the losing end of a decision against Robbie Lawler in July.
But he’s an active fighter, and at 32-9, he has little to prove. Still, he’s going to be heavily favored against Till in the main event on Saturday.
Till is 15-0-1 as a professional mixed martial artist, with four fights in the UFC since he joined the promotion in 2015. His last fight was a unanimous decision against Bojan Veličkovic. His one draw came in the UFC, a majority draw against Nicolas Dalby.
In the co-feature, Karolina Kowalkiewicz will try and get back in the win column after her disappointing submission loss to Cláudia Gadelha in her last outing. Prior to that, she suffered her first career loss against Joanna Jędrzejczyk in a Women’s Strawweight Championship match.
She’ll be taking on Jodie Esquibel on the main card. That main card will also see a light heavyweight bout between Jan Blachowicz and Devin Clark as well as a middleweight bout between Oskar Piechota and Jonathan Wilson.
The main card will feature names like Marcin Held, Anthony Hamilton, Sam Alvey, and Andre Fill.
