Till is currently ranked #9 in middle rankings. This fighter is only looking to beat fighters higher than him in rank and the UFC seems fine with that too. “The UFC said to me, ‘Darren, we’re with you and we know what your potential is and we really love you’. I said ‘of course.’ They asked me who I wanted to fight and I said Jared Cannonier is a good guy,” said Till talked to Michael Bisping.
Jared Cannonier was no longer an option as he was battling Derek Brunson in a title fight at UFC 270. “Those are some of the options they gave me. One fight that I really like is Sean Strickland. ” Sean was originally scheduled to face the former champion, Luke Rockhold, at a great UFC 268 card but the fight was postponed due to Rockhold’s injury.
