Donald Cerrone Could Be Sidelined for Six Months Because of Likely Broken Nose

Darren Till scored a victory at UFC Fight Night 118 on Saturday in Poland in what may prove to be a sea change for his career.

The 24-year-old Liverpudlian rocked UFC linchpin Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, swarmed him, and finished the fight late in the first round.

The loss was Cerrone's third straight; the first time such a thing had happened in his career.

For Till, the victory moved him to 16-0-1. More importantly, however, it was the biggest notch on his belt, setting the UFC welterweight division on notice that he had arrived.

Every fighter on the card received a mandatory 7-day rest period when the UFC Fight Night 118 medical suspensions were released to mixedmartialarts.com on Monday, but Cerrone was among a handful of fighters that could be sidelined for as much as six months.

Cerrone admitted after the fight that he was certain Till had broken his nose, an assertion that the medical suspensions tend to confirm.

UFC Fight Night 118: Cerrone vs. Till took place on Saturday, Oct. 21, 2017, at Ergo Arena in Gdańsk, Poland.
