Media Darren Till looking better than ever, ready for UFC return!

No.
His chin up in the air half the night and he took shots himself that he never should have.
He spent plenty of time on the ropes because he was preserving his meagre gas tank.
 
Till was always a puzzle. He showed flashes of being elite at WW and looked good until he got KO'd by Woodley. At MW, put up a good fight against a prime Whittaker for 5 rounds and looked good against DDP until he got finished. But he had some clear holes and sometimes he self-sabotaged and lost to fighters he shouldn't have.
I can agree with this about Till v. Dricus...after round 1. I don't think people remember the kind of bizzaro beating that Dricus gave Till in round 1. Dricus literally arm punched Till's skull against the fence with nowhere to go 60 times, until that arm couldn't swing anymore.

Two judges scored a 10-8 for Dricus.

The damn thing looked like an amateur shakedown, but with more thumbs ups.

True, but for a guy who I thought had no durability at WW, it was impressive to see Till take all that from a monster like DDP then come back and get some offense of his own before the round ended. He didn't just fold when it hit the ground like Izzy.
 
Looks like he was getting lit up until his opponent stumbled into the ropes and was off balance.
 
Till recently said he's done with mma for the foreseeable future. He only wants boxing opportunities.
 
he looked sharp in throwing his left hand but that was basically his main weapon in mma. his left hand was always fast and sharp.

but other tham that......he was boxing a not so really good and retired mma fighter. he had range over him as well. I just dont think Darren Til has it in him do well in the UFC anymore. He already peaked....got a title shot and it didnt work out. Of course he can come back to the UFC and fulfill a contract but to expect anything more than a gatekeeper or just card filler status.....no, both welterweight and middleweight have moved on.
