Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping is still backing Darren Till to become a UFC champion despite his countryman’s recent woes inside the Octagon.

After scoring six straight wins under the UFC banner, Darren Till was rewarded with an opportunity at the promotion’s welterweight championship. At UFC 228, ‘The Gorilla’ met then-champion Tyron Woodley. Unfortunately, Till would come up short in his lone title opportunity, losing by way of second-round submission. That loss was the first in a string of bad luck for the fighter who opted to move up to middleweight after a knockout loss to Jorge Masvidal six months after facing Woodley.

Till won his first foray at 185 pounds, defeating Kelvin Gastelum via split decision. Since then, the Liverpudlian has dropped back-to-back fghts against Robert Whittaker and Derek Brunson. Despite being 1-4 in his last five, ‘The Count’ still believes that Daren Till will be a world champion.

“Darren Till – you’re laughing at me because he’s 1-3 in his last four – Darren Till will be champion one day,” Bisping said on his YouTube channel. “His striking is phenomenal. His mind is strong. He’s just had a bit of a bad run. And again, 29 years old. He’ll be champ.”

Darren Till is Not The Only UK Fighter That Michael Bisping Supports

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Bisping also addressed the misconception that he is “salty” over Leon Edwards‘ big UFC welterweight title victory over Kamaru Usman at UFC 279. While ‘The Count’ admittedly took exception to ‘Rocky’ seemingly dismissing Bisping as the UFC’s first UK-born champion, ‘The Count’ has had nothing, but good things to say about the new welterweight king.

“People seem to think I’m salty that Leon (Edwards) won,” Bisping said. “I am over the goddamn moon for Leon, and I support every fighter from the U.K. Of course I wasn’t going to be the first and only one. We’re going to have a slew of champions coming from the U.K.

Bisping also name-dropped No. 6 ranked heavyweight contender Tom Aspinall as a fighter he believes will be a heavyweight world champion.

Tom Aspinall, as we know, sadly really hurt his leg. But Tom will be champion. He will be back. He’s going to rehab, he’s going to have the surgery, he’s going to be coming back six months, nine months, maybe a year. But he’s only 29 years old and he will be champion of the heavyweight division – make no mistake. Mark my words.”

Do you believe Darren Till and/or Tom Aspinall will be UFC world champions someday?

Darren Till shared a major update about his highly-anticipated return to the octagon.

Top-ranked UFC middleweight contender Till has been on the sidelines since his last outing against Derek Brunson in Sep. 2021. Brunson cruised his way to a dominant finish, submitting “The Gorilla” with a rear-naked choke in the third round to mark Till’s second defeat in a row.

Darren Till wants to fight two times before the year-end

Till had reported that he went into the bout against Brunson with a torn ACL and would be taking some time off. He was scheduled to make his return to competition against Jack Hermansson last month at UFC London. However, another undisclosed injury would force him to pull out of the contest.

In an interview with ESPN, Darren Till shared that he was back in training after the injury and talked about his plans to make a comeback by the end of the year. As of now, Till is helping prepare Khamzat Chimaev for his upcoming headlining fight with Nate Diaz and believes he’s benefitting as well.

“We’re a few weeks into getting back,” Till said (ht BJPenn.com). “Khamzat [Chimaev] is fully in camp now for this fight with Nate Diaz, so I’m like in camp helping him, but I’m in camp for myself to come back. As I said to you previously, I’m coming back. The body’s never 100 percent, but I’m coming back what I used to be like, healthy and fit and ready to get a world title, get some wins in.”

Till expressed his ambition to have two fights before the new year.

” [Getting a] massive fight against one of the best strikers in the division, so this is all just about getting back now… Yeah, I’d say in a few months’ time, I’ll be ready. I want to have two fights by the end of this year. Two fights, and then next year’s a big year. The comeback is on.”

Once touted to be the next British champion, Till hit a skid in his professional career that saw him drop four out of his last five outings, with a sole win coming over Kelvin Gastelum by split decision in a razor-thin match.
