Darren Till thinks Conor McGregor

English-born UFC middleweight Darren Till believes we may soon be seeing the end of Conor McGregor.

‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor was a two-division world champion in the UFC having won the featherweight and lightweight titles in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Since 2020 though, the Irish-born athlete has gone 1-2 in the octagon. However, he has founded an incredibly successful whiskey business.

Darren Till talks Conor McGregor

Darren Till recently discussed the Irish athlete. While speaking in an interview with Basketballinsiders, the 30-year-old athlete explained:

“I think Conor has been there and done it, made his money and now he’s happy. I’m sure he probably wants to come back but deep down he knows life’s different now. I think it’s probably the end for Conor but he’s still the biggest name in the sport.”

Conor McGregor was able to make the most amount of money in his career in a boxing match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a blockbuster event. YouTuber Jake Paul has capitalized on the market and has become a hot-selling boxer who now works with the PFL. Till discussed Jake Paul and said:

“I think he’s training really hard and putting 100% into it now. Again we have to respect it but let’s wait and see when he gets some tougher fights against more accomplished opponents. He’s kept proving the doubters wrong so yeah, keep making the money and doing what you’re doing.”

On the PFL, Till said:

“They’re getting to sign some big names right now even from the UFC. So that could happen yeah. I could go and make some money there.”

UFC middleweight contender, Darren Till appears to have once more voiced his support for controversial social media commenter, Andrew Tate amid the American-born’s latest arrest in Romania, as part of an investigation into alleged human trafficking, and rape

Till, the current #15 ranked middleweight contender under the banner of the UFC, most recently suffered his third straight loss, in the form of a third round rear-naked choke submission loss against Dricus du Plessis at UFC 282 last month. 

Tate, a native of America who spent his childhood in Luton, England – was arrested last week in Romania, as part of an investigation into an alleged human trafficking ring, rape, and the forming of an organized crime group. 

A former kickboxing champion, Tate had received mass attention across social media over the last 18 months, due to his controversial views of women, social commentary, and grandiose lifestyle. Tate was also pictured alongside the likes of UFC bantamweight champion, Aljamain Sterling, and undisputed welterweight champion, Leon Edwards. 

Tate is under investigation currently by the DIICOT following his arrest and detention at a Bucharest police station.

Earlier this summer, Darren Till, a native of Liverpool, voiced his clear support for Tate amid controversy surrounding his views, tweeting, “Andrew Tate is the best thing to happen to the internet in recent years.” back in August of last year. 

Across his social media this week in the wake of Tate’s arrest, Darren Till retweeted a post stating, “I stand with Andrew Tate” – accompanied by the hashtag, “#FreeTopG” – a moniker given to Tate across social media.

Darren Till is without a UFC victory in three years

In the midst of a three-fight losing run, Till, who has yet to land a professional victory since 2019, dropped back-to-back losses to former champion, Robert Whittaker, and Derek Brunson, before his December one-sided submission loss to du Plessis.

Darren Till Anthony Smith

To get his “mojo” back, Anthony Smith says Darren Till needs to accept a fight with a low-ranking opponent. According to Smith, an easier opponent could be just what he needs to shake his losing streak.

Darren Till is 1-5 in his last six, marking a rocky road for the once top-tier UK prospect. Till final saw combat at UFC 282 against Dricus Du Plessis, where Du Plessis would submit him in the third round. Till has dropped three straight losses, and his lone victory against Kelvin Gastelum could have gone either way.

People have asked the ‘Gorilla’ about thoughts of retirement, but it’s a subject he’s ruled out. According to Darren Till, he still has more fights left and is eager to grace the cage again in 2023.

Anthony Smith warns Darren Till about his strength in competition

Here enters: Anthony Smith. The man who has had his fair share of tough losses and a few losing streaks. According to Smith on the Believe You Me podcast, he believes the future success of Till depends on his strength of competition. At least, until he gets his “mojo back”.

“What does he do now? He’s got to, and he’s not gonna want to, but he’s gonna have to back way up, and he’s gonna have to give someone way down in the rankings an opportunity,” Smith declared (H/T Bloody Elbow).  “Which he doesn’t want to do. He doesn’t want to do that because he wants to continue to climb. He wants to swing for the fences and get his spot back and look ahead.”

“…I think the best case scenario for him is to drop way down and give one of these up-and-comers, these young guys, these unknowns, give them an opportunity to face a big-name guy that holds a decent spot in the rankings and hope that you can use that step down in competition as an opportunity to get your mojo back. The flip side of that is you drop one to one of those guys, you’ve got a big f—ing problem.”

According to Dana White, despite the losing streak, he believes Till’s stock has not dropped a bit: “I mean, that’s ‘Fight of the Night,’” Dana White said. “I don’t think his stock drops at all. If he would have went out there and got destroyed in the first round like it looked like it was gonna happen, but he did the exact opposite. He weathered that storm, stayed out of submissions, then he comes back, and you think he’s gonna win the fight. I thought it was an awesome fight. That’s why it was ‘Fight of the Night,’ and I don’t think his stock dropped at all.”
