It was quite shocking for the UFC community to learn that Darren Till no longer has a place on the UFC roster. After his loss against Tyron Woodley in 2018 at UFC 228, ‘The Gorilla’ was only able to achieve a single victory. This resulted in the fall of his UFC career, which eventually led to the removal of his name from the UFC roster. His last bout was in 2022 at UFC 282 against Dricus Du Plessis. Till was forced to submit in round three, which became a huge black mark on his career.

Many fans have even claimed that The Gorilla has lost his fighting zeal, with most of his fights appearing lackluster in recent years. Soon after losing against Du Plessis, Till mentioned to Bruce Buffer that he felt like he had torn his ACL. The English fighter had to go through some severe injuries in his fighting career.

Darren Till’s removal from the UFC was initially announced through the Twitter handle of UFC Roster Watch. Fans were quick to react to the shocking news. Along with the fans, the very famous YouTuber and boxer KSI also expressed his shock after coming across the news.
