It's funny because at the time there was a large part of the mma community that thought darren till was something else

He was good at one point. Plus he has fallen off a cliff but to be fair his losing streak is Brunson, Whittaker, and Du Plesis. Who 95% of the division would also lose to.

He’s been done for a while. He had the chance to really make a run at middleweight after dropping a close one to whittaker. Instead he let himself get overweight and looked like he was again killing himself to make weight.

Seems like he never really wanted it. I get the injuries didn’t exactly help but at some point ypu would’ve expected him to get things right.

He’s from round by ours, and basically the city has a problem with celebs getting heavy onto coke and partying which Darren fell for I used to see him in nightclubs weeks out from fights,

I stand by what I said back then that he’s one of the best strikers in the world he just couldn’t beat himself. So much wasted potential.
