Darren Till is slowly becoming the most savage UFC fighter on Twitter. After Mike Perry announced that he would take in the highest bidder in his corner for his next fight, Till was willing to pay $5,000 for the spot. However, the Brit soon started threatening to throw the towel if he got into Perry’s corner.
‘Platinum’ Perry made news in his last fight as he went inside the octagon with only his girlfriend in his corner. Despite notching up a win, a one-woman corner wasn’t something that he was looking to continue with. Therefore, for his next fight against former welterweight champ Robbie Lawler, Perry held an open auction where the highest bidder would get to corner him.
Enter Darren Till. The Brit had a beef with Perry which, at a point in time, became very intense. Consequently, Till was, reportedly, very serious about cornering Perry.

Couple days ago, @PlatinumPerry tweeted “whoever gives me the most money” can corner him along with his pregnant girlfriend for his upcoming fight vs. Robbie Lawler.
Well, @darrentill2 tells me he is dead serious about willing to pay $5,000 to be in Perry’s corner for the fight.

However, the bubble of a serious ‘The Gorilla’ soon burst when the UFC middleweight started joking about throwing in the towel from Perry’s corner.
Now that I’m in @PlatinumPerry ‘s corner,
How much will someone pay me to throw the towel in.?
😂😂😂😭😭😭— D (@darrentill2) October 6, 2020
Perry soon fired back by bringing up Till’s knockout loss at the hands of Jorge Masvidal last year. It was this loss that led to Till moving up to 185-pounds and was the starting point of a Masvidal’s dream run in the UFC.

Darren Till isn’t the only who has shown interest in cornering Mike Perry
One of the reasons why ‘Platinum’ probably put out the bid for his corner was because his girlfriend Latory Gonzalez is pregnant. However, Perry’s demand for someone in his corner resulted in responses from people he wouldn’t have expected.
Adult actress Kendra Lust offered $6,000 to corner Perry. Moreover, she was willing to cover Till’s travel expenses as well so that he could join them as well. However, Perry’s girlfriend was in no mood to entertain that possibility.
definitely not

Just like Perry, Till also has his next fight lined up in December. He will face Jack Hermansson. The Englishman would want a win at all costs to get back into the title picture. His last fight ended in a unanimous decision loss against former champ Robert Whittaker.
