Former UFC welterweight title challenger Darren Till has been getting vocal about the division he was once a part of, and that continued this week with some opinions on the top middleweight fighters.
Till hasn’t competed in mixed martial arts since a defeat to then-future champion Dricus Du Plessis in late 2022. The start of the subsequent year saw “The Gorilla” granted his release from the UFC, and he’s since had just one boxing outing.
All the while, the Liverpool native has vowed to return to the Octagon down the line and hasn’t shied away from giving his assessments of various fighters and matchups, especially at his most recent fighting weight in the UFC of 185 pounds.
That was on display this month when Till posted numerous tweets about the UFC 305 main event between Du Plessis and Israel Adesanya, offering advice to the latter while constantly berating his former opponent.
That trend has remained this week, but it wasn’t just the South African taking fire…
Till Berates Some, Praises Others: ‘DDP I Hate Your Guts…Sean I Like’
In a recent X post, Till gave his honest take on a number of notable names in the middleweight division, expressing somewhat positive thoughts on Marvin Vettori, Sean Strickland, and Robert Whittaker.
All three still caught some flak, but it was Du Plessis and Adesanya who took the brunt of it.
“Marvin I really like but ur sh*t. DDP I hate ur guts and ur sh*t. Izzy!!!! Ur gay and ur sh*t. Sean I like and ur ok cos u beat me up in the gym once I boxed ur head off. Whittaker I f**king love u but I beat you, you chose the sh*thouse way and took me down 10 seconds in the last round… ur sh*t.”
Till also didn’t miss an opportunity to quip at himself.
“Have I missed anyone out? Oh sh*t yeh… myself, I’m f**king so shit I really am.”
And newly crowned UFC Welterweight Champion Belal Muhammad also briefly entered the Scouser’s crosshairs.
“Also Belal Muhammad isn’t a real fighter strip him of his title he cheated against Leon!!!!!”
