In September 2018, a fight between Darren Till and Tyron Woodley headlined the UFC [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/mma/ufc/] 228 at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. Till was aiming to become the second British UFC Champion. However, Woodley’s crafty submission move denied him of it. Woodley was dominating the fight as it went into the second round. He forced a tap out from Till with 41 seconds left in the second round with a d’arce choke. Immediately after tapping out to Woodley, Till got up and shook Woodley’s hand in acknowledgment of his loss. “Tyron was the better man. I’m gutted. I’ll be back stronger,” Till said after the fight. “It just really, really hurts.” Woodley was coming into the fight after a break of 14 months. He did not, however, sho any signs of it as he managed an impressive win. “He’s a tough kid,” Woodley said of Till after the fight. “My coach told me I’ve got to be ready to go all the way in. I was just taking my time – I saw he wasn’t going away easy and took my time to get the job done. “This feels pretty awesome. I don’t believe in ring rust, but I’ve been away for 14 months.” TYRON WOODLEY IS SET TO FIGHT LEON EDWARDS Currently the top-ranked Welterweight fighter in UFC, Woodley is scheduled to fight Leon Edwards at UFC’s Fight Night 171. It is scheduled for March 22 at the O2 arena in London. The event also features a fight between Danny Roberts and Nicolas Dalby.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Darren Till 2021: Record, Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Darren Till is perhaps one of the most entertaining fighters in the UFC. Not only does the Scouser put up exciting matchups, but he also has an appealing personality outside the cage. Fans know Till for being raw and funny on social media. As of August 2021, he sits at #7 in the UFC middleweight <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.ufc.com/rankings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rankings</a>.

Till started as a Muay Thai fighter and later transitioned to Mixed Martial Arts. Born in Liverpool, Till began training in Muay at the early age of 12. Three years later, he turned pro.

Till then found himself in a life-threatening altercation at a party. The Liverpudlian was <a href="https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2017/09/darren-till-guarantees-win-im-going-to-build-my-name-off-donald-cerrone" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">stabbed</a> in the back twice. This moment changed his life forever.



He traveled to <a href="https://www.fightersonlymag.com/interviews/darren-till-liverpool-brazil-back/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Brazil</a> to stay out of trouble and by the time he was seventeen, Till began his MMA training. After finding success in his amateur MMA career, he turned pro and racked up eight wins in 2013 alone.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Darren Till: UFC Career</h2>
In 2015, Darren Till received a call from the UFC and entered the company with a perfect 12-0 record. He won his first match against Wendell de Oliveira via a brutal TKO win in the second round. His next fight ended in a draw.

Till amassed a record of 17-0 before challenging the former welterweight champion, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tyron-woodley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tyron Woodley</a>. Unfortunately for Till, he got knocked down by a huge right hand from Woodley and then got submitted via D'arce choke.

It was his first MMA defeat. He then fought Jorge Masvidal before moving to middleweight to fight <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kelvin-gastelum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kelvin Gastelum</a>. His last fight was against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/robert-whittaker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert Whittaker</a> in 2020, where he suffered a unanimous decision loss.



Now, he will step inside the octagon against the #5 ranked middleweight contender, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/derek-brunson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Derek Brunson</a>, on September 4, 2021.

'The Gorilla' who walks out to Sweet Caroline, has put together a 6-3-1 UFC <a href="http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/9ce6d5a03af801b7" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">record.</a>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Darren Till: Fighting Style</h2>
Till, one of the best elite strikers in the UFC, has claimed 10/18 wins by T/KO. Moreover, he has a great takedown defense (82%) to keep the fight standing.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Darren Till: Controversies</h2>
Following his defeat to Woodley, Till challenged <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jorge-masvidal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jorge Masvidal</a> in his hometown of London, England. Sadly, Masvidal humiliated Till by knocking him out cold in the second round. What followed was probably the darkest phase of Darren Till's life. The Brit allegedly <a href="https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2019/04/darren-till-arrested-allegedly-stealing-cab-trashing-hotel-canary-islands-ufc-crime-report/amp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">vandalized</a> a hotel room and stole a taxi on the Canary Islands.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Darren Till: Achievements</h2>
Till holds a stellar record of <a href="https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Darren-Till-73436" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">18-3-1,0NC</a> in his MMA career. He has won two Fight of the Night bonuses with Nicolas Dalby and Jorge Masvidal. Besides that, he won a Performance of the Night Bonus for his fight against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/video-throwback-darren-till-knocks-out-donald-cerrone-in-the-first-round-ufc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Donald Cerrone</a>.

In 2017, <a href="https://punditarena.com/mma/thepateam/ufc-announce-award-winners-for-one-of-their-best-years-to-date/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pundit Arena</a> named Till the Breakthrough Fighter of the Year.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Darren Till: Net Worth and Salary 2021</h2>
Till has earned around $913,000 in the UFC so far, according to <a href="https://thesportsdaily.com/2020/07/26/darren-till-career-earnings-fox11/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Sports Daily</a>. However, this does not include undisclosed bonuses or other sources of income. His middleweight debut against Kelvin Gastelum helped him to bank his biggest paycheck yet. "The Gorilla" earned $245,000 from that fight at UFC 244.
