Former UFC welterweight title challenger Darren Till answered an online troll’s question about why the promoter would re-sign him.
Till parted ways with the UFC just months after a submission loss to Dricus du Plessis at UFC 282. On his way out of the UFC, Till lost five of his last six fights, with his last win coming against Kelvin Gastelum by split decision at UFC 244.
Since receiving his UFC clearance, Till made his exhibition boxing debut last month with a TKO victory over Muhammad Mutie and is determined to return to combat sport again by the end of the year, possibly in the boxing ring.
Till has not ruled out a possible return to the UFC. After a social media follower rejected his request to return to the UFC, Till did not hold back.
Darren Till drops the microphone in front of an online troll
In a recent tweet, Till reacted angrily to an online troll.
Oh, have you talked to Dana? Shit, my bad. That conversation we had a few months ago about me coming back must have been a lie. Sorry, buddy. I forgot you knew they weren’t going to re-sign me. But just tell me one thing. How fucking stupid do you feel now that you know you’re a…?

“Oh, have you talked to Dana (White)?” Till said. “Shit, my bad. That conversation me and him had a few months ago about me coming back must have been a lie. Sorry, buddy. I forgot you knew they weren’t going to re-sign me. But just tell me one thing. How fucking stupid do you feel right now knowing you’re a dumb motherfucker saying things with no substance?”
Before his recent losing streak in the UFC, Till’s rise through the UFC welterweight division was unprecedented, coming after wins over the likes of Stephen Thompson and Donald Cerrone before a minor loss to Tyron Woodley.
Till has been linked to a possible Bare Knuckle FC fight against Mike Perry, but talks have not resulted in a booking. Perry lost to Jake Paul in a professional boxing match last month.
Till, 31, is in peak physical shape and can imagine a comeback to the UFC. For now, he is focused on continuing his positive momentum outside the Octagon.
