Darren Till reflects on UFC title regret and BKFC win
Former UFC contender Darren Till has expressed lasting regret over never winning a championship in the UFC, describing the unfulfilled goal as a “thorn” that will stay with him for the rest of his life.
Since leaving the UFC following a three-fight losing streak, Till has found success in boxing and bare-knuckle fighting. Most recently, at BKFC 94, Till secured a unanimous decision victory over Yoel Romero. Reflecting on the contest, Till noted the importance of a tactical approach, stating, “I couldn’t lunge in. So I had to play the chess match.”
Till’s recent victories include bouts against Luke Rockhold, Darren Stewart, and Anthony Taylor in boxing. While his manager has expressed opposition to a UFC return, Till has not ruled out the possibility. He is currently eyeing a potential matchup against Mike Perry.
