BKFC 94 Results: Darren Till vs. Yoel Romero, Winners and Highlights
The BKFC 94 headliner saw Darren Till suffer a nasty cut under his right eye, but still prevailed over Yoel Romero via unanimous decision on Saturday at the AO Arena in Manchester, England. The main event didn’t have the kind of action bare knuckle fans have become accustomed to seeing. However, Till’s skills were on display as he built a solid lead with his jab and 1-2 combinations.
Romero woke up in the last two rounds, landing a few power shots that appeared to hurt Till — or at least gain his respect — but the 49-year-old simply didn’t do enough to win the decision. Here’s a look at all the details and results from BKFC 94. Let’s talk bare knuckle.
The night’s biggest moment came after the decision. Till came face to face with BKFC Ironweight and Light Heavyweight champion Lorenzo Hunt and it nearly turned into a melee in the ring, with Hunt criticizing him sharply. Till also called out Tommy Fury and Mike Perry. A record 15,800 packed the AO Arena, and Romero dropped Till at the end of round three, though the bell had sounded and it was not scored.
Cullen-Mundell was initially scored a draw and decided in an extra round. Two outlets report the final cards differently: Cageside Press has 55-58, 57-56, 57-56; MMA Weekly has 58-55, 56-57, 57-56.

As amazing as it is to see Romero still competing at nearly 50 years old, we’re at a point where we have to wonder if he can actually defeat an upper-echelon competitor in any combat sport. That’s no real knock on a man who is 50, but Romero likely needs a win over someone significant if any promotion is going to continue to sell him to audiences as a force.
