Darren Till asked for his release from the UFC roster due to his poor performance inside the octagon. Among his last six fights at the promotion, Till was only able to emerge victorious in one fight. Nonetheless, it seems that Till is not ready to give up on his dream of achieving the UFC middleweight championship. The Gorilla’s fight career unbelievably went downhill after his victory against Stephen Thompson at UFC Fight Night 130.
The 30-year-old English fighter was on a long winning streak with a draw in between before he lost to Tyron Woodley in the title shot. Following the title bout loss, he faced yet another terrible loss against Jorge Masvidal‘s punches. At the moment, the English star is taking a break to heal from his injuries and explore other combat sports. Nonetheless, Till still has not lost the zeal to fight for a championship.

‘The Gorilla’ was talking to the New Onlines Casinos and said, “100 percent I want the Middleweight belt. My aspirations haven’t changed in that sense. Money comes and money goes, but I’ve still got that mindset that I’m only 30. Most of the UFC champions are 34 or 35 — so I know I can do it.”
He continued, “I just need to be directed in the right way and make sure my body is fit and healthy and my mind is too. Regardless of how much money I make outside the UFC, ultimately my goal is to be back having those big fights in the UFC within two to three years.” After listening to Till, fans were quick to react to his possible comeback to the UFC octagon.
