Top Middleweight contender and Liverpool native Darren Till has been having lots of fun with welterweight Mike Perry, recently elaborating on his Mike Perry website that Till created.

Till spoke with Michael Bisping on his “Believe You Me” podcast saying, “This is fighting mate, and I don’t think there is a line,” Till explained “I think kids, yeah, that’s a line you don’t cross. OK. I think I’ve seen one fighter cross that line – I think it was Colby [Covington], I think he crossed the line – but same again, for me, it doesn’t cross the line for me.”

Its not the first time a fighter has said Covington has crossed trash talk line in the past. Till continued to poke fun at Perry, creating a website making fun of the welterweight. He recently had trashed Perry and his Girlfriend a few weeks ago. He went on to explain the idea of the website was to create a little beef to keep fans interested during the lockdowns for the Pandemic.

“We were chatting, me and Mike, and I don’t know if he’s being serious,” Till said. “We were chatting in the DMs and it was good fun, let’s have a bit of beef. I don’t if I took it too far, because I said I was going to ‘raw dog’ his girl, but he took it serious, and he blocked me. I was like, ‘What the f*ck?’ He blocked me on Facebook. Mike really blocked me. So I made another account.” (Transcribed by MMA Fighting)

Since this, many close to Till have told him to stop slandering Perry due to the risk of a fight breaking out next time they cross paths. “A lot of people said, ‘Knock it in the head, Darren. He’s unstable.’ So I did, but then I created this website, and it’s f*cking hilarious. … If he sees me, he might want to have a fight. You know where I come from. You know I’m about that life.”

Is Darren Till crossing the line with Mike Perry? Will these two ever square off in the Octagon?

Darren Till is hoping to fight the worst version of former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker next month. A few weeks ago it was announced the 185lb contenders would headline a ‘Fight Island’ card on July 25. Speaking to former middleweight champion Michael Bisping and comedian Luis J Gomez on a recent episode of the ‘Believe You Me’ podcast Till explained why he wants to face the worst version of Whittaker, he said.

“I’m expecting either amazing Rob or I’m expecting Rob that doesn’t believe himself so much anymore. I’m preparing for either or. Obviously, most fighters would say, well I want the best Rob. No. I want the worst Rob, make it easier for me. I don’t know what Rob we’re gonna expect. We’ve been having a good back and forth for a while now, it’s been really fun. So whatever Rob comes. I will say I’ve been preparing during [the] lockdown and while maybe it’s coming to an end maybe it’s not, Fight Island’s on the horizon. Got six weeks to fight for five rounds.”

“I hope to f**k he doesn’t show up to my fight,” he said. “Easy win, easy money [laughs].” (Transcribed by BJPENN.com)

Whittaker hasn’t fought since losing his title to current middleweight king Israel Adesanya at UFC 243 in October 2019. ‘The Last Stylebender’ stopped Whittaker inside two rounds to claim UFC gold. Whittaker has since had an extended break from fighting after suffering burn out.

Meanwhile, Till stepped up in weight for his last fight after suffering back to back stoppage losses. Till fell to a submission defeat against Tyron Woodley in a failed welterweight title bid. He then got knocked out by Jorge Masvidal in front of his home fans. ‘The Gorilla’ returned to winning ways by beating Kelvin Gastelum over three rounds at UFC 244 to establish himself as one to watch at 185lbs.

Darren Till has not given up on his goal of becoming UFC champion.

Till is set to face former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker in an upcoming Fight Island event on July 25 in Abu Dhabi.

Having won in his middleweight debut against Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 244 in November, Till could quickly find himself in title contention if he emerges victorious against Whittaker.

And this time, he plans on going all the way when it comes to earning UFC gold, having failed at his first attempt in his welterweight title fight with Tyron Woodley back in September 2018.

“One day before my failed world title attempt in 2018, I will not fail again. ? #PushingLimitsThisWeek,” Till wrote in a recent Instagram post.

Till Confident He’ll Be Middleweight Champion

Should things work out, Till could find himself facing current middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in what should be a striker’s delight.

And despite his friendship and banter with Adesanya, the Liverpool native is certainly confident of his chances of walking out as the new middleweight king once they collide.

“Listen mate, we are going to fight. I don’t care what anyone says; we are going to fight and the best man will win,” Till said last month. “I believe I will beat him and I will become the middleweight champion. We will fight. It will be for the culture, for the fans and for the people — the culture of Muay Thai, kickboxing, everything.

“It’s going to be epic, but until then, I’ve got no hard feeling towards that man. I’m going to punch a hole through his face and he’s probably going to punch one through mine. He gets the joke, he gets the banter, he gets that we’re frienemies. Let’s make this f*cking fight massive.”

Do you think Till will face Adesanya in the future and end up becoming champion?
