Darren Till: KSI vs. Tommy Fury Was ‘Scandalous’ | The MMA Hour

Darren Till discusses his past history with Ariel Helwani, what he thought of Misfits Boxing, Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis, KSI vs. Tommy Fury, why Till isn’t in the UFC anymore, why he has turned down MMA deals so far, if Misfits in his future, why BKFC isn’t on his radar right now, his comments about Mike Perry, if he is still friends with Khamzat Chimaev, and more.

You can tell that Leon Edwards recently winning the belt was a major source of inspiration for Darren, especially with Leon's unintentional inactivity and being from the UK.

[@DJButterSmooth]

I'd be surprised if any of these social media "boxers" fight Till. He's a known striker who isn't old and retired and a lot smaller than them.

Darren till probably sees opportunities on misfits boxing for himself

[@jimbobjameshecks]

Hence why he wants misfits bxng!!

[@bobharris7225]

Can u ask him about the current MW landscape next time? Like: How he feels about his loss to DDP now that he's been able to finish Brunson and Whittaker? How Izzy/Pereira 2 went? Sean defeating Izzy? His sparring sessions with Sean and Khamzat along with who he feels would win that? Who he feels would win in a Sean/DDP fight? Where he's at with Izzy and what happened on the plan TUF that the two were suppose to have? Anyways great interview, nice to see you two at it again!

[@Big_bang_zhang]

DDP ?? Diamond Dallas page? That’s the only fight he has a chance at winning, would probably still get sparked tho

[@charlieallan5318]

Great to hear from Till it’s been a while! Forever love the lad, will back him until the day he retires

[@richh4430]

Till was one of my favorite guys on the UFC roster. Still can't believe how far he's fallen. I hope one day I'll see him back in the octagon but won't hold my breath.

[@T1tusCr0w]

I think he hasn’t admitted it to himself yet but he will never be back. - I payed attention when he said so I’m gonna do this for the next 2-3 years. I’ve never heard anyone have almost 4 years out then come back late 33 & do something in the UFC. - I wish him well but it’s a wrap I feel.

[@Ajox191]

The real turning point was his move to middleweight. Till was the force at 170 but the middleweight division is a different beast. Whittaker, Brunson, and Dricus were tough match ups.

[@gstrainscoming9]

Damn you guys are negative.

[@josephdover198]

@@Ajox191 Also injuries. He had a 48-47 loss to Whittaker in a fight where his knee was blown out early. However I'm not sure about a force at 170 where he was a weight bully. Wonderman got robbed. Jorge Masvidal nearly ended his life and he didn't land one strike against Tyron Woodley. First and only time in UFC title fight history where a man did not land a single strike. That Woodley was already old. He was getting shopworn. He had a wife and a girlfriend. A shitload of kids. What better time to beat Woodley than when Darren got his shot?

[@Ajox191]

@josephdover198 I think if Till got matched up with Leon Edward's for the belt, Leon would get flatlined. The Masvidal and Wonderboy match ups were tough. The Wonderboy fight was close. Masvidal was getting lit up before he KO'D Till. No shame in that, Masvidal is a great striker. I think Till could still hang with the some welterweights that are in the top 10 now.

[@Drewcove33]

Thank you Darren for saying everything i felt when i watched that fight!

[@khanoncrack3309]

Darren till such a stand up guy - he would utterly destroy all these influencers and youtubers him and perry would be a great fight.

U can tell Ariel is purely on the Paul payroll he can’t say anything bad about Logan or Ksi it’s always everybody else

I'd like to see Darren in ONE Championship, i think he'd do alright there with the muay thai kickboxing and MMA set up. Sounds like he's only training Boxing now 🤔

I don't understand why anyone is watching Paul boxing cards like there's legit fights going on. It's a disgrace to combat sports.

[@user-kq6ju6hc1w]

Just to offer some perspective.....Ive been watching mma for almost 10 years, always have always will. I watch every single ufc fight including TUF, contender series and saturday night fights ppv or not. I also watch other promotions like one and bellator as well as a bit of bjj on flograppling, not like i do with the ufc though. I watch zero boxing besides the occasional big names like tank vs garcia or wilder vs fury, pretty pumped for tyson and francis too. All that being said, I watch all these goofy ass fights with the youtubers. At the end of the day i just like combat and i got caught up in it before i even knew who these people were, just heard 2 internet dorks were going to throw down and i figured it would be interesting. Watched a few UFC legends get a monster payday that they all deserve, i aint mad at that.

[@robin97rv]

Jake paul is actually not bad. Ksi and logan are terrible and should stop indeed.

[@garystringer2582]

Perry vs. Till in Misfits currently makes all the sense in the world. That would be a big deal for Misfits and the crossover space. Not gonna lie, I'd probably enjoy the spectacle more of a BKB match. Understand why Till doesn't want that particular type of smoke though. 😅 And Misfits can produce a better mainstream event in my opinion. Perry and Till don't need to go bare knuckle type to sell this fight though. A boxing match between the two would do numbers.
