Former UFC fighter Darren Till is known for his trash-talking. And while he may have exited from the UFC after losing five out of his last six fights in the promotion. He was also suffering from persistent injuries that have adversely affected his fighting career, but his trolling game is still strong.

A few years ago, Till told former UFC star and current BKFC fighter ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry that he would ‘raw dog’ Perry’s girlfriend in the latter’s DM, which prompted ‘Platinum’ to block the Englishman on all social media. Ever the troll, Till made a website and started selling ‘Raw Dog’ merchandise. But karma, as they say, is a witch, and Till’s joke may cost him over a million dollars in an unexpected turn of events.

After their aforementioned feud, Darren Till and Perry are on much better terms now. The Scouser appeared on Perry’s podcast, where he revealed that he was being sued for $1.4 million by an apparel company. Till said that he was talking to his team before being sued and told them that they needed to pay Israel Adesanya and Perry a percentage of the profits.

“I got sued for $1.4 million. So it was going well and I was actually saying to the guys we need to give Adesanya some percent, [give some percentage to] Perry. And then there’s a brand in England called G-Star Raw and it’s trademarked and they own the rights to the name raw. So they sued us and we couldn’t trade anymore. They sent us a cease and desist letter and that was the end of Raw,” he told Perry.

However, he was sued by the G-Star Raw company who owned the copyright to the name ‘Raw’. Till told Perry that he had to pull curtains on his company after receiving a cease and desist letter from their legal team.
