Darren Till and Yoel Romero only needed a fraction of the time to get the job done the second time around.
After a BKFC 94 pre-fight news conference Thursday, Till (1-0) and Romero (1-1) came together for their second promotional faceoff.
Their first faceoff in early August lasted approximately three minutes and seemed like it was never going to end. This time around, it lasted less than a minute and ended in friendly smiles and a handshake.

BKFC 94 takes place Saturday at AO Arena in Manchester, England and streams on Triller TV. The battle of the two former UFC middleweight title challengers
headlines the event.
Till, 33, made his bareknuckle and BKFC debut in May when he defeated former Bellator fighter Aaron Chalmers by second-round TKO. Between his UFC departure in 2023 and his bareknuckle debut, Till went 3-0 in boxing (two exhibitions and one pro bout).
Romero, 49, has bounced between combat sports since his PFL departure in 2024, varying from bareknuckle (boxing and MMA), wrestling in RAF, and Dirty Boxing. Romero, 49, debuted in BKFC in September 2025 with a quick finish of Theo Doukas. He competed in bareknuckle in Russia in March, but lost to Vagab Vagabov.
