Five Darren Till Facts That Explain Why He is the Gorilla of UFC

The 27-YO Southpaw Darren Till has his upcoming match against Robert Whittaker in UFC Fight Night 174. It’s a middleweight main event that will bring the four UFC Fight Island events to an end. Robert will make a comeback after having lost to the undefeated Israel Adesanya in UFC 243. Darren will make his return after posting a win against Kelvin Gastelum last year.

It remains to see who will get an upper hand. Meanwhile, let us have a look at some very interesting facts about Till.

Top five Darren Till life facts-

#1 Darren and his ‘priorities against family’

Reports suggest that Till made some unpopular comments while in the attendance of UFC 227. These comments were not taken positively by the fans, and he later had to clarify his stand.

He had said, “I’ve got a girlfriend who’s nearly seven months pregnant. I don’t really care. I’ve got a daughter in Brazil right now who I haven’t seen for one year. I don’t really care.”

He later gave another interview and said, “My girlfriend and my daughter, they know what’s what. [My girlfriend] was right next to me when I was giving that interview, and she was laughing.”

#2 Darren and an unhappy Israel Adesanya

Till once expressed that he does not want to fight Yoel Romero. He finds Romero one of the deadliest fighters out there. Now, this did not go well with the undefeated champion Israel Adesanya. He was not amused and told the reporters, “You should ask Darren Till that. I like Darren, he’s cool. I know he’s just joking around, but still even joking that you’re scared?”

So although these two are friends, Till irritated him this one time.

#3 Darren and his coach’s telltale

In March 2019, Jorge Masvidal defeated Darren Till by KO/TKO in Round 2. But according to Darren’s coach, something was already off with Till’s preparation ahead of that big face-off. He shared with Metro.co.uk, “The issue with Darren was nothing to do with his chin, it was the fact that he was in tunnel vision mode [in UFC London]”.

#4 Darren and Paige VanZant equation!

The tattoo of a blond woman on Darren’s left arm got fans into the guessing game. Fans thought the lady’s face on his arms was of women’s flyweight division fighter Paige VanZant. But Darren cleared the air by explaining that it is his girlfriend. He also said, “As I’ve told you about my girl, she’s next to none other. So, every time I fight, she fights too. And she gets beat up with me, do you know what I mean?

#5 Darren and Platinum Mike Perry’s ON-OFF relationship

Till and Mike Perry were good friends before things fell between the two fighters. The 6 ft tall Darren posts regularly on social media. He recently posted something that offended Perry. Later, it came to a point when people thought the two can fight each other. But Darren put a stop on all the rumors by suggesting they will never fight.

He has three daughters and another tattoo of his sister on the neck. A family man!
