Analyzing the amazing career of Darren Till

[Xoleth]

Nicknamed The Gorilla... probably because he was much bigger than some of his opponents.

He came undefeated in UFC after beating 12 cans.

He beat 3 guys who were cut fast from UFC for having negative records and he had a draw with Nicolas Dalby, who is a decent fighter, but was also cut from UFC at that time.

He beat LW Cowboy Cerrone. It was Darrren's second and last finish in UFC. Yet, Darren was seen as a guy with KO power, although he only had 2 finishes in UFC.
Mention: Cowboy looked much smaller than him.

Then, Darren fought in UK, because we all know the UK robberies, don't we, Bisping?
He "beat" Wonderboy. Great decision. Not according to the media and to the fans, but according to the judges.

He got a title shot and he blew it, he lost badly against a guy who was KTFO by a youtuber.
He got KTFO again by Masvidal. It happens.

After that, he moved to MW to fight people his own size. Gorilla era 2.

He beat Gastelum by split decision, while being a point fighter and refusing to engage with Gastelum.
He lost to Whittaker, but he still complains to this day that Whittaker was point fighting him.
After that, he lost two more times at MW and was released from UFC.

His record in UFC should be be 5-6-1. He mostly beat cans and smaller guys and he was a decision fighter, not a finishing machine, like some people believe.

He is mostly known for being Chimaev's loveboy, while learning zero wrestling from Chimaev. Also, for being blind during weight cutting.

Yet, he managed to beat all these guys... in his head.

Darren Till at its best... one of the most overrated title challengers

 

[Doctor Grudge]

calling someone gay. till went full on middle school.

i think till realizes his career is probably not bouncing back to anything noteworthy, so may as well have fun with it.

lol really loving these break downs keep them coming

“You can’t have worries outside of this game,” Till told reporters. “I’ve got a girlfriend who’s seven months pregnant, I don’t really care. I’ve got a daughter in Brazil who I haven’t seen for a year, I don’t really care. I just care about legacy and greatness. That’s what I’m in this for.”

“I ain’t no welterweight,” he continued. “I’m a light heavyweight in the welterweight division. It should be illegal, what I’m doing. The UFC should ban it but they can’t because I do it naturally and I do it professionally, and no one can do a fucking thing about it.”

Spoiler

 

[Egészségére!]

I’m no fan but he did start out 17-0-1 with a high finish rate

And 3 of his 5 losses were to ufc champs & Brunson & Mas are no scrubs either

But he was out of his league fighting top MWs he should’ve stayed at WW he probably could’ve been a decent gatekeeper there

Maybe.
But WW has many top wrestlers: Belal, Usman, Colby, Gilbert, Brady and quite a few good strikers.
MW is weaker, in comparison.

 

[AldoStillGoat]

Till is a bad match up for DDP.

Has hands, tough chin… give him a fight in the UK and he walks away with the title.

 

[usernamee]

I don't care what people says I'm impressed with his performances against Wonderboy and Whittaker.

 

[Xoleth]

Yes.
If he manages to run from DDP and go to a decision.
And if 2 of the judges are as retarded as the one in Tuivasa vs Roz or Chito vs Cory or Jones vs Reyes or Bisping vs Hamill.
And in UK they usually are... it must be something the air.

Till might win a SD.

New Champ!

Now shoop the new champ

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Nothing against the guy. Darren Till obviously has talent. He went toe to toe with Whittaker and in hindsight his ass kicking by DDP ain't looking so bad now.

Was he fast tracked to the 170 title because Woodley was such a terrible sell? Did Dana get super hard the moment the words UK and championship status fell into his lap? His win over Wonderboy at the time was a very, very good.

Darren went from overconfident to self doubting in one fight. With such a long winning streak maybe it was detrimental towards his growth in the end imo. Kinda the same thing with Honda Rousey. In under one fight you go from being indestructible to losing embarrassingly. Now you got to pick up all the pieces and try to reinvent, reassure yourself of your ability. But the problem is you are at the top now of the division. There are no easy fights. The next guy you face might not be dealing with the same struggles you are currently feeling internally. He's on his way up. Full of confidence and ready to end you

 

[Luthien]

Till's highlight was a walkout - only to get knocked dead

 

[SSgt Dickweed]

So that's why he likes hanging out in spa's.

 

[Ube]

I’m pretty sure he’s nicknamed the gorilla cause of how close his eyes are to each other, and that big ass head

 

[Spiderbite]

If Till's lucky, he can MAYBE sit out and wait for a chance to get beaten up by Jake Paul.

Outside of that and given his options, it may be time to take the gloves off.

 

[Pitier of Fools]

calling someone gay. till went full on middle school.

I don't think he was using it as a slur. Merely a statement of fact.

I agree here
Yeah, he started in mma cancrushing org in Brazil
He debuted beating Wendell Oliveira, who was a very nice guy but never managed to be viable in any major org.
He drew against Dalby... But damm... Dude won first and second rounds while fighting the third with an arm injury and getting a 10-8.
He was kinda humble at the beginning... But then got cocky af and became literally unlikeable.
He also lost me when he declared himself a "bolsominion"
But anyway... His UFC career IMO, was basically... Normal
He had highsides... downsides... But that was normal
I can think his career was similar to Thalles Leites: won a lot of fights, made a streak, blew up a TS (Prime Silva was a monster though) then got bad and disappeared (Thalles actually retired in the UFC with a win though).
And that's it.
Any other twitter rant he would do these days is just to pretend he's still relevant somewhere.

 

[axe wound]

Never heard of him

 

[Fight Professor]

 

[gosuasus]

My favorite thing about Darren Till was him getting obliterated in front of the whole world.

 

[egk]

Jake Paul only fights washed up or never were guys who are draws. Till is certainly washed up but hardly anyone knows who the hell he is.
