Darren Till is exploring other options for a potential return to MMA.
Till meets fellow ex-UFC fighter Darren Stewart May 16 in a boxing match, which headlines Misfits Boxing 21 in Derby at the Vaillant Live.
Till is still interested in a return to the cage. While a UFC comeback is what’s been on his mind for the past couple of years, there’s been some recent developments.
“I’m not too old in the sport,” Till told Bloody Elbow. “My body’s not broken, even though I’ve obviously had trouble with my knees. But I’m fresh. I don’t feel like I have any case of that CTE. I pronounce my words properly. I’ve got a solid brain on myself even though I know I say some mad things sometimes. That’s just public persona – obviously I’m a mad c*nt, but I don’t think I have any early signs of CTE, or I hope not.
“So I might go back. Depending on things, I might try my hand at the PFL, have a little go. I speak to them quite a bit, and look, if the UFC want me back, then let’s see what happens with all that. I’ve spoke to the PFL, and I like the way they do their organization. I would actually love a bash at it. It just depends then if the UFC would have me back after that. I don’t know. I think I still have a few years left in me.”
Till was most recently seen in action in January when he defeated Anthony Taylor by Round 6 TKO under the Misfits Boxing banner. He’s 2-0 in exhibition bouts since parting ways with the UFC following a submission loss to current middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 282 in December 2022.
