However, the altercations took an evidently dark turn as The Gorilla’s comments caused Perry to go so far as to block him. On an episode of Michael Bisping’s podcast, Till shared the saga of his altercation with Perry. He said,
“I’m just [insulting] Mike. We were chatting, me and Mike. Like, I don’t know if he’s being serious since[sic] we were chatting. Like in the DMs. No good fun, yet. Let’s have a bit of a beef. And then, I don’t know if I took it too far. Because I said I was gonna raw dog his girl. But he took it serious[ly]. And then, like, he blocked me! He blocked me off Instagram! I posted about it. So, I made another account! And I started commenting… He blocked that account too! I made another account. He blocked that! I can’t see sh*t no more!”
Truly enough, Mike blocked Darren, regarding which Till posted a sad message on Instagram.

How did the Darren Till vs Mike Perry beef start?
Apparently, Darren and Mike didn’t really have a whole big fight that led to their altercation. Explaining how his beef with Mike was not as bloated as people think, Darren said,
“[I] and Ariel [were] having a bit of a back-and-forth because I said let’s keep everyone interested while lockdown is happening. And the same happened with Mike! We were just having a bit of back and forth. And then, maybe because he got a new girl or whatever, he took it to heart. I don’t take mine to heart. You can say what you want about me. Until you lay your hands on me, it’s fun. So, I just said I’ll raw dog his girl, and the whole fan-base just jumped!”
