Darren Till has explained his reasons for creating a “Mike Perry Is A Bum” website. According to the British middleweight, barely anything is off-limits when it comes to mocking fighters.

UFC star Darren Till promises that he “will not fail” in his pursuit of the UFC middleweight title after failing in his bid to become welterweight champion. Till fought Tyron Woodley back at UFC 228 in September 2018 in his bid to become the top fighter in the world at 170lbs. However, Till did not perform up to his expectations in that bout, as he lost the fight via submission to Woodley. Since then, Till made the decision to move up to middleweight and get a fresh start in a new weight class after struggling to make weight numerous times during his run as a welterweight.

UFC middleweight Darren Till issued a scathing response to Mike Perry after “Platinum” brought up the Brit’s mother in a recent social media post. Perry and Till have had a feud dating back a few years now and occasionally both men have brought up the prospect of fighting each other.

Tom Taylor - May 7, 2020

UFC middleweight champ Israel Adesanya has issued a response to the notion of coaching The Ultimate Fighter opposite Darren Till — and Till’s not going to like it. While the idea of a fight between Adesanya and Till has been appealing since Till debuted in the middleweight division with a big win over Kelvin Gastelum in November, the buzz surrounding this potential matchup spiked yesterday, when Till suggested he could coach the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter against Adesanya. Generally speaking, TUF coaches wind up fighting each other at the conclusion of the season, so Till was effectively implying he could fight Adesanya in the near future.

Robert Whittaker is hoping his August fight against Darren Till can be a 195-pound catchweight bout. Whittaker and Till are expected to headline UFC Dublin on August 15.
