Darren Till is one of the most talented fighters and extremely entertaining UFC fighters. Be it in his interviews or on Twitter, fans can always count Till on for a good laugh. ‘The Gorilla’ has been active on Twitter lately making fun of just about anyone in the UFC.
Till recently made the news when he threw his name in the hat to corner Mike Perry. He offered to put up $5,000 to do the same. However, it looks as though the fighter has found a new target on Twitter in fellow middleweight Derek Brunson.

The “beef” between the two men started when Till jokingly called out Yoel Romero. In response to his recent call-outs, Brunson put out a tweet that said he had bet $20,000 with someone that Till would not call him out. In typical Darren Till fashion, ‘The Gorilla’ replied, “I don’t call bums out”.
The two men were then involved in some back and forth trying to troll each other. This included Till posting a screenshot of his message to UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard, calling Derek Brunson a “bum”.
Till then put out a tweet saying, “Where you gone (Derek Brunson) ??? You wanna call me out on Twitter thinking it’s a joke? Come on reply you big fat b***ock of a man!!! Let’s go! Skint bum”. Brunson replied to the tweet saying, “Relax man . I’m fixing my kid dinner”. Till rounded out the war of words with the final nail in the coffin that said, “Fix your record #bum”

At this point, it does seem as though both men are indulging in some banter. However, it remains to be seen if this materializes into a fight. Following an unsuccessful title run at welterweight, ‘The Gorilla’ decided it was in his best interest to move up to middleweight. He won his middleweight debut against Kelvin Gastelum. However, he succumbed to a loss against Robert Whittaker in his most recent outing in July this year.
Till is now set to fight Jack Hermansson in December this year. Only after combating a tough divisional adversary can he truly focus on fighting Derek Brunson.
