[@Brad-cb5sy]

That tweet he sent Belal makes him a champ in my book. 😂

[@romeds848]

@ConduitKingg It’s really just that he seemed to refuse to grapple in the octagon, if he improves on his grappling defense I’d say he can be right in the mix with the other top middle weights

[@Fightconnoisseur96]

@ConduitKingg that depends on what you consider to be "not that long ago", his fight with Whittaker was 4 years ago. That's actually quite a long time, a lot can change in 4 years and he's been inactive for nearly two years. Inactivity and racking up losses is bad for confidence, and I would say that's probably why people find it hard to believe he will ever win a title. That being said, anything is possible in combat sports, I've been watching Boxing and MMA for well over a decade by now (mostly Boxing) and I know by now that literally anything can happen, so who knows.

[@TheHunt708]

He's been saying for months there's an announcement coming, he got knocked out by a water bottle at UFC279 press conference back stage

[@user-ry9zo6cl6k]

Tbf most the ufc fanbase were buying into his hype not too long ago.

It’s called self belief. That’s how he got where he is in the first place.

Bro is 1-5 in his last 6 and talking about a UFC belt. His career ended after the Woodley fight in 2018. Well his title aspirations I should say

[@kitrismwnili8038]

Masvidal really ended his career

[@penayecyrille9405]

That fight was horrible, bro trained hard 6months, stopped talking to people to focus, cut weight and everything, just to land 0 significant strikes in the biggest opportunity of his life

[@JohnDoe-ly6bt]

1-5 aint that bad. he got dana white priviledge like Poirier and Chandler, hes just one lucky punch away from a title shot

On behalf of the mma community, please fight Mike Perry, its the only fight the community wants to see you in Till. Sign the contract we know its not Mike running its you.

[@jonkalv7808]

What contract

[@MrWickHaHaBobayega]

@@jonkalv7808 Till has had a contract for a bare knuckle fight against Perry since last year. He's shook of that matchup in bare knuckle

[@IbrahimMuhammad_114]

Yeah like a decade too late lmaooo

[@billyin4c514]

Darren's fight against Duplessis really bothered me. I thought that he was elevating his game by going and training with Chimaev, And the fact that that performance was the outcome was just really disappointing.

[@IamnotJokic]

This dude has turned into a complete clown. Tried to get some shine by being butt buddies with Lhamzat and then tried to be friends with Perry without ever doing anything meaningful in his career.

[@JBholmes420]

He should go fight on the KZbin cards, he’s at that level

[@Callum-yl1fi]

He gave the current champ a hard fight, even dropped him I think

[@MidxCity]

You see how he shook his head when Ariel ask if it’s an influencer or not I’d bet everything he’s fighting ksi

[@JeromeLee-wf8ws]

Aw be nice

[@lebraa]

I truly never been a fan, but this is plain disrespectful to day he is a yputuber level guy

[@jelorer]

@@Callum-yl1fi Dont recall that. Dricus just took a break in the second round after tying darrens hand behind his back and windmilling him for a whole first round.

[@winstonchirpsehill1503]

the irony of this plumber from Liverpool saying Luke Rockhold is washed lmaoo

[@fraserlewis6905]

Luke literally has no chin Darren was just a coke head 😂

[@tommygunnggg1127]

Luke may be washed, but hey he got a karate combat win the other day lol

[@chappyy.]

Exactly it's rediculous. At least Luke is still fighting. Till shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as Luke or disrespecting him who's achieved far more than him I mean former strikeforce and ufc champion and Till still saying he's gona be ufc champ 😂 dude is jokes

[@Caygill-co3nx]

Rockhold vs bisping or machida in karate I think that wil get a lot of buzz and if they do press conferences or something be good don't think I have ever seen a karate combat press conference not really watched a show just seen the highlights from.rockhold

[@fraserlewis6905]

@chappyy. he's training at the smith brothers gym in Liverpool and doing very well apparently he has a gloved boxing match coming soon on a decent show. Time will tell but yes Darren has wasted a career considering his rise and how good he could have been

[@rockyfox9325]

Is Till becoming the new Danis?

[@nickodemusc2124]

Maybe they should fight?

[@iiSeaCoooooooow]

He’s already there

[@jelorer]

dannis has like one fight in bellator. till can actually fight.

[@celebratecrypto3693]

💯

[@TheSteviejaymack]

Totally

[@HD-fc4ds]

Doubt he even beat Weidman or anyone in top 15

[@Zachydoodoo28363]

Bro weidman can beat anyone with those eye poke combos - he’s gonna eye poke his way to the belt

[@stekla2871]

Till stated he needed to have a knee OP, plus his shoulders are not great. Had 15 months to get it fixed, but did nothing. How does he expect to win fights in MMA if he is going into fights at 60%.

[@mustafakhan940]

Crazy to remember the Till v Masvidal press conference in 2019 when Leon was just getting disrespected all week. Who would’ve thought in 5 years Edwards would’ve been a defending champion whilst Darren and Jorge have been washed out of the UFC

[@hailacrunch4937]

Trust me real ones knew. Masvidal was always a step above a journeyman and till grappling was always sus as well.

[@breakdancerQ]

Well Like him or not, Masvidal has had the biggest career resurgence in that run, at least in terms of status.

[@WannaNau]

At least Masvidal became a global superstar and made millions on millions and retired on his own accord despite being a journeyman. Till was touted to be the next Conor and left the UFC in his prime after getting destroyed in his last 5 fights.

[@steveosborne1007]

Till vs Woodley rematch in boxing?

[@rafacereceres1316]

I was a big Darren till fan. But he let booze take over his career. Sad after the twood loss we never saw the same Darren till.

[@midnightwolfee2128]

I never heard about the booze, is that true?

[@MrAlquatraz]

Till vs Rockhold in karate combat

[@breakdancerQ]

That's actually good and a fight he could win lol

[@abemartinez9623]

That’s a great idea

[@yeetsalittle]

Had to check to make sure it wasnt April 1st after seeing the title, hes about as likely to win a UFC belt as I am

[@ralphmadrid6982]

****BREAKING NEWS**** Till is on the next Contender series to try to get back into the UFC lol....Funny how Till is saying he is not impressed with what Perry has been doing in Bare knuckle....Bro, Whatever it is, Perry is doing his thing, winning, and cashing them checks while Till is wasting his primetime years...I really hope everything goes good for Till and he wins this boxing match he is talking about & gets back into the UFC...However, this guys is talking about 205lb....Nooo wayyy he will be successful at that weight class....Only way Till will do good to possibly great things is if he fights in welterweight 170lbs or 155lbs lightweight.....Looking forward to your announcement Till.

[@mr_moo_moo]

Agree although there’s no chance he’ll make 155

[@bigguccisouljamike191]

He still fights ?

[@stereotoned]

Nope

[@dixcn]

Till would be lucky to get back into the top 5

[@BamOn742]

Top 15 you mean

[@onlineidentity6826]

Till couldn’t get into the top 5 even if Elton John and Bernie Taupin sat down, wrote the best song ever written and helped him record it.

[@jpw6984]

You beat driccus for 2 rounds?.. mate you got battered and almost finished

[@BamOn742]

He got finished

[@IbrahimMuhammad_114]

He was finished. His signature move, falling on his back and immediately turning to his stomach and giving up his back.

[@LumpyLumpybudz]

I was a huge Darren till fan, but now I'm looking forward to seeing him get slept. Fortunately for him he'll never make it to another fight

[@IbrahimMuhammad_114]

Why

[@neilmacey84]

Win ufc title ? Uh there's more chance of finding out Nicholas cage is on minimum wage 💯💯

[@bigguccisouljamike191]

Lol it’s possible I suppose

[@76tattooartist]

But he is,isn’t he? Not minimum,but pretty damn close…do you even know anything about this,or were you joking? Incredible 😮

[@RawDogTV]

The only thing he’ll win is a cheeseburger eating competition

[@ewally24]

"Ariel... you couldn't fight SLEEP, 'cmon mate" LMAOOOO roasted this man 🤣🤣🤣

[@ETwasajunkie]

Ariel evolving as a person and try new things isn’t what the fans get annoyed at… It’s when we tune into “The MMA Hour” on a KZbin channel called “MMA Fighting” then get female boxers, darts players and WWE “superstars” we start to get fed up with it

[@sidndidhdudn2308]

I daresay Till's confidence is crossing into the territory of downright delusion. As an MMA coach myself, I never thought he looked elite, even in the striking department he apparently specialises in.

[@shawnwenzel6074]

Weight bully with a straight left hand

[@ckennedy109637]

he only had one punch the left hand and masivdal ko him cold and hes a lightweight for real

[@theremnants6655]

yeah people used to say what a good striker he was, but he had such low output that it negated that anyway. He just did feints most of the time and barely threw any actual strikes.

[@livewell_79]

One of the better personalities of combat sport. Dunno why everyone hates on him. Lets go Darren ! 💪

[@Sir1626]

Darren Till vs Kevin Lee for most deluded fighter! Let's go!!

[@szotakandrei]

We need a Kevin Lee vs Darren Till fight for the MDF belt (most delusional fighter)

[@user-bg3dc5bw6p]

Till went in Dubai 12 days ago to visit Khamzat with his family. Amazing both are still like brothers.

[@Mrhdhdjd]

Darren Till vs Nick Diaz

[@user-mp3zj9wc6v]

It's good to see brotha. Darren is still one of my favorite fighters. The respect Darren showed to Ms Woodley. Darren is a legend.

He was actually winning the fight against the champion on the feet but shocked us all how bad his takedown defence was in his 1st fight since been besties with khamazat it was crazy like every takedown dricuss went for he got and he was exhausted was actually a terrible performance from dricuss too be honest

[@rusty1748]

There is no fixing a glass jaw. His best days are behind him and this comeback will end badly. He had potential but he was his own worst enemy. He should shif bhis focus to finding a job to pay for his 4 kids with 4 different woman.

[@mistaschaub3280]

He's always been selling ❄️

[@vladdorian..]

I like how he isnt ashamed to say that hes afraid to fight Perry.

[@jasonnames]

I can't get behind him until he proves he has the drive. He was on top of it and let it all go. And it was mostly due to not training. Im not saying he wasn't trying but to be champ...it has to take up all of your focus. Don't think he wants to win that much. But I would love to see him do well cause everyone used to love him.

[@Somali_Pirate_Dinghy]

Ariel please get Perry and Till on together

[@BREED-rv6kt]

How about Darren Till and Anthony Smith having a BEST OF 7 fight series for the new "6'3" Skinny Fat" division's MDMF belt. "Most Delusional MF"? What would the odds be? Exact series outcome prices? O/Us on the # of excuses the loser of each fight would give after each loss? At least someone is guaranteed a win then right?

I've missed Till. Hope he comes back and sticks it to all the negative casuals.
