UFC Liverpool: Darren Till full pre-fight interview

UFC welterweight Darren Till spoke with MMAjunkie ahead of Sunday's UFC Fight Night 130 event in Liverpool, England.

[@ldnxbars4264]

Darren till has the face of a 1950’s chimney sweeper Lol

[@psymusickingdom7703]

LDNXBARS nah looks like a 1850’s street kid. Oliver Twist kinda thing

[@MrStacey1983]

LDNXBARS lol yeah ur right with a cap on and soot all over his face.

[@lachlandudley7478]

this is the best commetn ive ever seen on youtube haha

[@caspar_gomez]

literally been thinking that

[@caspar_gomez]

could have a career in world war 2 movies

[@Copemaxx]

You gotta realise he's fairly young - 25, Conor was starting in UFC at that age, he is already headlining card in his home town in huge areana. Regardless of the outcome i already take my hat off to the guy, cuz he put in a lot of hard work, lived on his own in different country to train and elevate his game and right now he is more sucessful than 90% of average european population.

[@Carlosfernandez-dj4mj]

AndrewProblematic Connor started at 24 in UFC had a fight night in dublin Ireland where he knocked out brandao and he was already a two division champion in Cage Warrior so there's no comparation between them

[@Copemaxx]

Conor was 25 when he headlined UFC Dublin and Diego Brandao was somewhat #15 bum, Thompson is #1. Random organisations championships dont mean much, Cathal Pendred was also champion @ Cage Warriors. We all know how his legendary career progressed in UFC.

[@jewellui]

whaff whaff02 Till may not be a two division champion but this boy certainly has skills

[@levijackson3797]

whaff whaff02 you're just full of shit if you can't xee similarities. Or butt hurt.

[@rivertrash9862]

I'm a fan of Till, but that stuff doesn't mean anything really. Nearly every fighter at that level has sacrificed a lot and worked hard to get where they are. There have been other fighters hyped up and headlining by that age that turned into busts and arent even in the UFC anymore. Also he didn't choose to go to Brazil so he could improve his craft, he went because he got stabbed and staying in town could've ended up with him killed or in trouble.

[@xcoolthefoolx]

Idk how people say they can't understand Darren's accent! I am from Missouri, US and understand him just fine

[@jamesnm21]

some people just have trouble listening

[@Kevinster1997]

I’m norwegian and i understand him just fine

[@dv2033]

Understand him perfectly

[@hamzaeddahmouny1888]

i'm from morocco and i understand him as well

[@jeremiaha5167]

I'm a European and I understand it too. Liverpool accent might be strange but at least they pronounce things clearly. Unlike many other English accents.

[@dereklangston9]

Do you think he was closer to death after getting stabbed or during this weight cut?

[@godssonwon23]

LoL

[@mattykirk2875]

Hahaha defo the weight cut

[@surferdan23]

He does not look like he's doing well on this cut at all

[@bretto3952]

Weight cut for sure

[@SS-gx9io]

Matty Kirk no. being stabbed isn't a joke you people think this shit a movie

[@AdroitTom]

I can tell that weight cut is killer

[@ian5956]

AdroitTom he doesn’t look too drained really

[@mikesemon7392]

AdroitTom Pussy

[@AdroitTom]

Darren I've been Fokin stabbed Till wtf are you saying

[@JustinDavis501]

yeah and you can see hes taking mad caffeine just to stay attentive during this cut haaha

[@iconpanik7150]

-_- he says he walks at 215. Meaning he cuts at least 44lbs.

[@stludachris]

Dude looks like he is going to just fade into thin air.

[@noahgrobben2830]

stludachris mr Dana I don’t feel so good

[@kingme1034]

This fight could turn out in one of the most memorable in mma history Or it could easily turn out in a internet meme for how boring it was.

[@jewellui]

King Me this is one of those fights that won’t be boring no matter what happens because Till won’t be cautious like Woodley.

[@the.shotgun.approach]

agreed

[@kingme1034]

J L listen to Till interview he clearly said that that’s what he’s gonna do

[@jewellui]

King Me I did what’s your point, how could this fight easily be boring?

[@kingme1034]

J L both fighters offense strictly relies on counter punching, they are both non-aggressive fighters. Till made an exception for cowboy because that’s how you beat cowboy, but he perfectly knows that if he goes out there pressuring wonderboy he’s getting countered all night just like Masvidal did (a guy that got outstruck once or twice in his whole career, not a random scrub). So yeah, I think even the casuals know that when two fighters are both looking to counter there’s a good 50% chance that the fight will be boring,

[@scorpiopath09]

Really love this guy. He's go something about him-- all fighters say they're the best and are going to be champ but I genuinely believe this guy. Really like Thompson too, this is going to be a hell of a fight.

[@joecrocker9807]

For anyone complaining about his accent you need to understand Darren's speaking the clearest most understandable version of scouce we've ever heard in England. The Scouse language is so hard to understand to the rest of the UK that if we were American we would of already built a wall around Liverpool

[@BrianMoncada]

Damn...Till’s face looks sucked up already

[@mober111]

Overcome Your Genetics reminds me of Conor when he used to be in the week of cutting to 145. Always the interviews, at the start of the week he’d look like he’s cutting weight heavy already.

[@Farve4ever589]

The Mober Conor looked much worse.

[@mikolajnurkiewicz6015]

Overcome Your Genetics yea and come fight hell be at least 10-15lbs heavier than wonderboy and already with a bigger frame. I just don't see wonderboy winning this idk, come back and talk shit to me after lol

[@joshmcorkle4125]

Mikolaj Nurkiewicz lmao how does it feel to know you were wrong!

[@jimjones8808]

Josh Mcorkle The fight hasn't happened yet.

[@rudymanglona9329]

Foookkkin prroud of ya lad

[@vitoscarletta4968]

Josh Reyes see how Proud you be when he loses to wondorboy

[@nutpimple2143]

Yea budeeeh

[@ragusuelto3606]

Henato

[@Calqlate]

TheNeurolicious no this guy just wants to slam till

[@ImNotYourEnemy]

Josh Reyes Wonderboy going to f*** him up watch he's going to be eating Humble Pie can't wait

[@petelebu]

This dude looks like he has been snorting the same zombie dust mc gregor used to make weight for his fights

[@carnalcarnage4499]

Is it my scotch or does this guy have an accent?

[@carnalcarnage4499]

M Express lol

[@mikesemon7392]

Carnal Carnage Scouse. It's a really trashy northern British accent. Us mancs can spot a ways.

[@carnalcarnage4499]

universalpopper It loosens me up. Tongue and cheek can be very revealing.

[@SatanDynastyKiller]

What Scotch you drinking?

[@carnalcarnage4499]

SatanDynastyKiller just finishing my bottle of Glen Rothes

[@liamgallagher3507]

I don't think Darren will win, I think he will be out classed tbh. However, I do think he could catch Wonderboy with an elbow against the cage for a W

[@gspsalienmasterjohnyhendri4106]

Till knows even if he gets by Wonderboy he’s got the hardest fight of his life in the future against the GOAT Colby The King Of Brazil Covington

[@Bakugo24]

of course you're a fan of cody. due has two brain cells.

[@JG-km9jf]

Hahahahahah

[@mikesemon7392]

Cody GOATbrandt Till vs Colby would be two great superior white athletes. Anglo-scouser vs Anglo-American. I'd be very proud.

[@BlackHeart_x3]

Lmaoooooooo

[@danielmontoya6664]

M Express nah Cody isn’t the same as Colby. Bick back with that

[@elliotharwood3464]

Liverpool have always had amazing fans just have to look at anfield to see how great there support is! Coming from a southern lad in Kent!

[@Ghost-xb3xn]

2 Great Fighters... phenomenal fight to look forward too. Till looking drained though. He has to cut a lot of weight. Let’s Go Till

[@KingDomsKingdom85]

Ghost I see that as he is doing it right... slowly! Some leave it to the last minute (Rockhold vs Romero) And it doesn't usually end well.

[@nufcjoker9057]

KingDoms Kingdom Kevin lee ...

[@MrDylanHole]

He looks great, like, glowing.

[@SkateboardingMotivator]

the confidence of Till is a adrenalin rush of pure inspiration! I have not felt this way since Conor was talking trash about Dustin!

[@4Morfius]

even though he is still young i am impressed by how till recognises that there comes big sacrifice if you want to be an elite in the sport

[@fabiGBOtown]

Darren Till is my hero

[@godssonwon23]

I'm a big fan too

[@blackassnight]

Something about this guy makes me feel like he’ll dominate the scene for the next 7-8 yrs

[@rh4770]

Wonderbra by submission..you heard it here first

[@exocet8834]

Damn, sounds like straight out of the fucking Peaky Blinders😂😂😂

[@PS-qv7xv]

Darren Till is the truth.. first time I've been conflicted in relation to a fight

[@bjjsalzberry13]

Can't wait to see the fight! Awesome interview

[@leebrandon3842]

now this is a guy who can be the next mcgregor type. he's exciting as hell when he fights combined with his ability to speak and just express how he truly feels in a humble manner. very likeable. unlike a guy like garbrandt to where when he talks its sounds phony and forced and he's not speaking from his heart he's trying to say what he thinks is cool and badass but it's just cringey

[@artemthetrain14]

LEE BRANDON when does McGregor sound humble? Lolol

[@Reginald_Harrison]

Garbrandt isn't articulate at all, that's why it seems like he's forcing everything. I think he means what he says, it just comes out a little awkward. Conor is very humble in victory and in defeat. You're too caught up on the pre-fight trash talk he does to promote his fights.

[@artemthetrain14]

Triscuit H That's true, I'll give you that. I guess I'm just thinking about his pre fight stuff since this here is a pre fight interview.

[@sk-sn4vh]

LEE BRANDON you are right about till but completely wrong about cody. colby is and example of some cringey guy forcing something not cody. cody may rub people the wrong way and seem like he starts fights over nothing but you can clearly tell he is as loyal as it gets and is really passionate and always speaks from the heart.

[@Synth2000]

I agree, this guy has something and the feeling when i watch his fights is that he hits very very hard. Very focused energy, dunno how to explain better.

[@miken7862]

You can tell Wonder boy got him thinking alot. Hes constantly and repetitively trying to reassure himself, as though hes fighting with his doubts. Its going to be an exciting fight.

[@philtolfreeart]

Both great dudes and great fighters. Can't fucking wait!!

[@lg1199]

I respect the honesty. But I’m not jumping in this hype train unless he finishes wonderboy. I’m tired of everyone jumping on these new kid hype trains and disrespecting the guys that have been proving themselves for years smh. UFC likes to push these new guys and down play the vets. Yet should be the other way around. YOURE THE NEW GUY YOURE THE UNDERDOG !

[@greyplummer1080]

It’ll be interesting to see if this a Cruz v. Garbrandt situation where the young guy takes out the vet.

[@antonchigurh8102]

He's either incredibly nervous or the weight cut is killing him before our very eyes.

[@Zamalshkay]

Hes been fighting whole his life he just cutting too much 30pounds? Well that aint small

[@0xstev3]

you can't read people for shit...

[@bigd9154]

Till is a smart mam he talked him self into the number one contender fights and has balls of steel too face the second baddest man in the division

[@loveforthe90s]

This weight cut has Darren lookin like he’s 19 again lol

[@the-mma-guru]

he looks so different, the weight cut literally shrinks his head. TeamTill tho

[@dr1zzed]

Till is in a state of flow, I think he will do very well!

[@gorillaj19]

He seems stressed and dehydrated. Good dude though. Should be a fun fight!

[@Burburls]

gorillaj19 he's probably cutting weight tbf

[@yoooooooooo97]

He looks great

[@zyadbjeirmi8673]

Is it just me or does something seem wrong with Till here? The weigh-cut is a killer but I’m hoping it’s nothing more than that

[@alexjacobs2080]

Zyad Bjeirmi anxiety from weight cut and also pressure of big fight

[@jewellui]

He’s acting a little differently

[@the.shotgun.approach]

just excited to smash Wondergirl he can hardly contain it.

[@zyadbjeirmi8673]

Alex Jacobs He has never shown effects of anxiety before though?

[@zyadbjeirmi8673]

Adam Quinn ahahahah

[@dunkindonuts215]

The next big star he has the right frame of mind to be the best, i believe this kid has that IT factor.

[@donaldoarmand212]

exciting young fighter. appears to be just maintaining some understandable anxiety in his movement. better simmer that tension down come fight night.

[@openureyes929]

Till is no stepping stone for Thompson. !!!

[@chrismcintee365]

How many tubes of chapstick do you think Till goes through in a week?

[@thew4rrior5code]

If I was going to make a game plan up against till I think the body shots would be the way to stop him because if he's rehydrating 20-30 pounds every fight that means he's going to be weak to the body. He can get away with it if he starches his opponents early but if it goes long the body shots will take effect more. This will be a great matchup to see really how good Till is because everyone is good "till" they meet an opponent who's equally as strong which on paper we have here in wonderboy.

[@snapkick2groinleftlegheelo232]

I rate till very highly when fight was announced I thought he’s got this.. I have now changed my mind ..

[@ChiefGhoul]

One thing is for sure... Till does not skip neck day.

[@RlCESTER]

Till is absolutely right about people calling him a peice of shit if he loses to wonderboy. Thats alot of pressure, but I am confident he will beat wonderboy.

[@rumham4766]

He seems nervous with little eye contact and stuttering

[@ChicagoMike85]

Pesnat M8 I think it’s bc he’s trying to make weight

[@the.shotgun.approach]

He's just excited to smash Wondergirl

[@Emtbwebb]

Love ya till go far son do england proud even thow your a Scouser hey hey calm down like!!! your still a legend man fly high

[@0181spikri]

His punches are crisp!

[@sinton09]

This guy has the vision and confidence of McGregor but respect of GSP. guess Sunday will show if his fighting skills will match, if so then yep he can become one of the greatest in my eyes

[@TheEnvelopeOZ]

He has to either thrive under the Liverpool pressure or it will weigh him down, it's an enormous amount of pressure on his young shoulders.

[@Mr2200]

Come on, Till... Even if you end up like Emmett Till, you'll still have supporters. Fans have a lot of respect for World Class Fighters - win or lose.

[@yaakw]

No one ever talks about the beginning of the day.

[@scottishjimmy9813]

What times this on in Uk?

[@ateam137]

People say he's arrogant, but I beg to differ, he's just confident. I want Wonderboy to win, but I like this kid and would like to see him do damage in the WW division.

[@deem6077]

At 8:50 now I understand why Darrn is getting the push he's getting from the UFC. _"Out with the old and in with the new"_ kinda thing going on there, especially since what he stated is a contrast with the "you know who" lol. Fair play to him though, I like Darren and I hope he keeps making waves and knocking heads off lol. **beats chest**

[@MR.SKANDAL0121]

Darren 'The real deal' Till

[@nosleep1271]

I think Till is in for a bit of a rude awakening but I'd love for him to win simply to see him get a shot at Tyron.

[@fitafanatomy3359]

Love both fighters but wonderboy is on another level of striking

[@ko0lGuy23]

I like his attitude but there’s a long trail and a tall mountain of talent he has to push through before he can fight for a title and to be considered the greatest of all time. Especially in a division where arguably the Greatest of all time is GSP! Good luck Darren.

[@andreware6492]

This guy can get tons of roles in WW2 movies

[@MrBicesterBoy]

Nice how much he looks up to Terry

[@doctorbenway4724]

He doesn't think Wonderboy is his biggest challenge? That draw with Nichola Dalby split decision was close, but Stephen Thompson is in another universe of ability, mate.

[@yousall7259]

Now till it better not be boring

[@xcoolthefoolx]

I believe in you more than I believe in myself Darren! xD

[@iFaFo_0]

Sir Darren of the Tills

[@ithinkyoudbesuprised2087]

Wow. Notice how the UFC made Darren Till wear his Nike Running zip top inside out so that the brand isn't showing.

[@footfabrics7423]

Going to be a good fight we will see who has the higher fight iq both are powerful both can play the game if they need too,should be good

[@hardeepjohal6693]

I love this guy he has all the big star quaility i hope he win because thats what we need new genration and exiting inside nd outside the cage

[@igot5onit423]

I'm convinced this dude's a cyborg

[@Jake-et3wt]

I know Wonderboy is legit as fuck and number one for a reason but idk man , I'm really high on this dude and think he has a good shot at putting WB away .. confidence along with skill goes such a long way and he's lacking neither . Either way , as long as both of these guys show up on point this should be a barn burner ! Fucking pumped !!!

[@omerselimucar5199]

Good Luck 👊👊👊

[@ameypatil5656]

Onbviously Wonderboy has better chances to win, but it will mostly be a decision victory which is not sufficient for Wonderboy, he has to make an emphatic statement and finish Till.

[@eezeegeezaa]

Hoozie figh-in? Gwan lad!

[@ivanpickering7979]

Hope it all clicks into place on the night for you . Get that win its your time.

[@ufcsweden4195]

Confidence 💯👏

[@donedidit321]

Omg day's away puts in the work i love wonderboy but im going for Till but just by a hair wonderboy is a cool cool guy much respect to both this should be a PPV

[@jamesnm21]

donedidit321 yeah, what the hell.

[@thisismolloy3799]

Man, he looks wired. He must be feeling that weight cut. Wow

[@joshcolbert5613]

For all the gamblers out there this is all you need to hear 7:25 to 7:37

[@markwheeler4245]

I hate seeing fighters who have a nightmare making weight so close to a fight in interviews as u can see em struggling like fuk! This drastic weight cutting has to stop for every fighter asap!!!

[@megabowzer100]

Put a long haired wig on till,youve got ross noble

[@jamafrican657]

Terry Etim....Haha and look what happened to Terry with the car and barboza lol...

[@TheEvdoggy]

If he wins he needs a title shot next because he wont be able to keep making 170lbs.

[@micahwest2793]

Watch out for that spinning head kick

[@armandoguerra7658]

Look at the future welterweight killer

[@mike111615]

Till looks so tired here. That weight cut is a killer

[@Njliving22]

This is gonna be a common case of when belief isn’t enough. Delusion meets reality

[@nextlevelbjj3083]

When Darren Till knocks Wonderboy down with his left straight, the world is going to jump on the bandwagon

[@waoop]

White walker mode engaged

[@carlos654818]

His face looks like the boys face on cover of mad comics

[@carnalcarnage4499]

Sounds like Liverpool has fans like us in Canada.

[@KennyGuyemusic]

agreed

[@RTSxx1998]

Carnal Carnage Liverpool has better.

[@carnalcarnage4499]

Rakan talal I can believe it, but I'd have to see it. Rather, I'd like to experience it.

[@Unknown-tk9dt]

If you want to experience Liverpool fans search in on KZbin Liverpool away fans. Look at Liverpool fans in Rome and places like that. Liverpool fans a mental

[@darrenellis4085]

search youtube for "liverpool fans man city"

[@synyser199]

till is so confident but fuck hes fighting wonderboy one of the best strikers in the game .... wateva happens i think this will be a great fight

[@peekingtom8337]

Till is wide eyed, the zone

[@sillynelson1]

I believe him.

[@cygmt9440]

"Its not about the physical" he says yet almost kills himself cutting 35lbs to make WW.

[@rvnwy7261]

When you take Adderall before a job interview

[@8.lbs6oz.babyjesus34]

"See ya in anotha life brotha"

[@TheMastersuperblaste]

My goodness he is creepy looking. He definitely has Sage Northcutt beat in the creepy porcelain doll face Dept. He looks like a cross between a mannequin/bot and a Good Guy Doll (yes...the happy smiling doll that turns into a murderous Chucky)

[@phinksworeguccibeforeitwas6572]

THE HYPE WILL END ONCE HE FACE AN ELITE WRESTLER. but He will win vs Wonderboy.

[@Jigsawmaster1]

He’s gona get a reality check
