So the Jamaican fighter wrote on Instagram, “It’s day number 13. Still no word from @darrentill2.”

This time around Hall, got a response on his post. However, it wasn’t from Till. The Russian middleweight fighter Albert Duraev called out ‘Primetime’ for a fight. He wrote, “You remain silent as if on a first date! Can you fight with the one who wants to fight you? Or are you afraid of losing your ranking number?”

But this didn’t sit well with Hall and he quickly replied, trashing the Russian fighter for his comments. He wrote, “Ranking number? Ranking is not real champ.”

He added, “I don’t believe in people giving me number sounds like some slave shit to me. Silent? Go climb the ladder. You are not even in the top 15. The fu*k am I looking at you for because you and your whole clan says so? Get the fuck out of here bro go bark somewhere else. You basically came out of nowhere and feel like you are entitled? Nah.”

Will Uriah Hall Get a Fight Against Darren Till?

‘The Gorilla’ has only won one fight since 2019. Following his win over Kelvin Gastelum, Till suffered two back-to-back losses in the division amongst top-5 fighters. He is currently #8 on the roster will surely be looking to get back into the win column in his next fight.

Meanwhile, ‘Primetime’ since his UFC debut was on an impressive win streak until he faced a setback in his recent fight. He is currently #9 in the division and will be looking for ways to bounce back from his previous loss.

Both the fighters are currently fresh from their defeat and are ranked one after the other on the middleweight roster. Hence, this fight makes a lot of sense, as both the combatants will have their chance to bounce back from their defeat.

Also, a win in his fight will surely rank the winner up in the division. Interestingly, Hall is interested in this clash, but he will have to wait for the Brit’s response and a green signal from UFC.
