“My Phone Is Absolutely Blown to Pieces” – After Being Cut From the UFC, Darren Till Reveals He Has a Different ‘Plan in Place’

Earlier this week, the UFC community was left stunned when news broke out that Darren Till had been suddenly removed from the UFC roster. The unexpected announcement caught the attention of many fans, leaving them wondering about the fate of the Liverpudlian fighter. However, despite the shocking news, Till assured his fans that there was no bad blood between him and the UFC and that he had voluntarily asked the promotion to sort out some personal issues. And one of them, or perhaps the primary of it, being his knee injury.

Since then, the MMA world has been buzzing with speculations about what’s next for ‘The Gorilla’. But in a recent interview, Till revealed that he’s not sweating over the UFC’s decision and that he’s currently flooded with many offers. In fact, he’s got his sights set on something bigger and better now that he’s cut ties with the UFC.

It’s safe to say that Darren Till is ready to turn over a new leaf and start a new chapter in his fighting career. During a recent interview with ESPN, the 30-year-old revealed that ever since he part ways with the UFC, he has been swamped with offers.

Till revealed, “My phone is absolutely blown to pieces, mate. I mean, I’ve had offers… But, I’m not worried right now.”

He then talked about his future plans, and how he has something bigger planned for himself. The Englishman stated, “I’m a clever individual, I’m a clever young man. I’ve got a plan in place [and] I’m going to execute it and this is all going to work in the end. And, you know, I mean, me and you are going to speak in six years’ time and you’ll say, ‘It worked out didn’t itself’.'”

Having said that, Darren Till isn’t planning to stop fighting. Even though he claims that his knee is the primary cause of the issue, the fighter still places more importance on competing than on having surgery.

As of his time in the UFC, Darren Till has fought three times in the last three years. And now, despite the ongoing knee issue, the 30-year-old is planning to match that number this year alone. Having claimed that the surgery is what he needs, Till believes that can be put on the back-burner for now. He told ESPN, “[I] think I will fight three times this year.”

Till added, “Then I think I’ll do my surgery after the three fights.” Now that’s some fighting spirit. Only time will tell what the future holds for this talented fighter, but one thing’s for sure, he’s not going to let this setback keep him down.
