There was a lot of back-and-forth trash talk leading up to Saturday's Misfits Boxing 22 main event between former UFC title challenger Darren Till and former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold.

The two headlined the event in Manchester, England and it ended violently. Till scored a knockdown in the final second of the opening round. Rockhold tried to recover but was stopped early in Round 3.

Till unloaded a seven-punch combination along the ropes that crumbled Rockhold backward on the canvas. The official time of the knockout was 1:08 of Round 3.
