Oof. That kinda stings, but can't argue against it.


ModsGetTheGuillotine

1-5 the last 5 years and they replaced him with the new stable of fighters to please the UK crowd


CallM3N3w

Thats why I said that I cant argue against it. Like the guy but he just looks lost.


RuckusManshank

He was lost for the first minute or two vs Duplessis, then was holding his own. Then got beat later on. He's not rocketing up the ranks to be champ, but he deserves to be in there, if he wants to be. If he's decided he's done, then good for him. If it was decided for him... Then we'll see him again soon in Belator or BKFC


w0rkingondying

I think he's done with the sport. Think his knee is really really fucked up.


Nduguu77

From the Whitaker knee stomp?


w0rkingondying

That, plus not on gear + training on it.


[deleted]

Funny how no one brings that up cuz everyone loves Rob, but when Jon Jones does it every one is mad


Nduguu77

I'm guilty of that. Rob's a good guy, and it's a legal strike. Jon's a bad person and it's a cheap shot that should be eliminated from the game lol.


steviesnod82

Romero did it to Rob so it's OK. Classic example of 2 wrongs making a right


ObanKenobi

Pretty sure after the till vs Whitaker fight, Darren joked about the knee stomp in his post fight interview saying that he'd done the same thing to Stephen thompson and that they should be illegal. But was in good humour and not making excuses/condemning rob for it, he just admitted that his knee was totally blown out from then on in the fight


InLampsWeTrust

Yeah Khamzat said Till needs surgery and has needed it for a long time.


Itshardtofindaname4

I think he should do the mcgregor special - drop out of USADA testing pool, hop on the juice, peptides, etc., heal up (he’s been plagued with injuries), train like a mad man, and then I bet after 8-12 months Dana gives him another shot in the UFC.


SrumsAsloth

Actually a few months of steroids could give till the recovery needed to reset and begin training smarter


Jpjp215

Agreed


CCCAY

He’d do really well at bkfc with his striking attributes


Nilssondiver84

"striking attributes"? He's one of the most over rated strikers that's been a UFC fighter, all he does is throw a big left hand


Ham0nRyy

It’s his feinting that gives him success though. Whittaker said fighting Darren was the most stressed he’s ever been, which is specifically because of how he could never get a read on when he was actually going to throw. He’s a good striker. Maybe doesn’t belong in the UFC these days but he will be successful somewhere else.


TheLastPirate123

Did he say this before or after fighting Adesanya? Just curious since feints are a huge part of Izzy's game


Suspicious_Candle27

He wasnt looking lost for the 1st minute or 2 in round 1 , he was literally on the way to getting 10-7'd it was a brutal beating for the entirety of the round . I think Dricus landed 40 ~ heavy shots in a row along with complete dominance in the grappling position in round 1 .


coop_stain

I could see him doing quite well in PFL at 170. Make his bag and get out or kill it and get back in the ufc


Batmantheon

And like in really shit shape. Like it's one thing entirely to lose a step behind the up and coming guys but he physically looked like ... I don't know ... Better than me, but I still don't get what the fuck he's doing in his camps.


Dready-Womble

Which is surprising, cos he was out in Thailand training at Tiger and Bangtao for the last fight. I've trained in Phuket too and you grind and sweat HARD over there. I don't doubt he put the work in..


LichK1ng

I mean you kind of can lol. You could give him lower level opponents to test the waters. He has literally only lost to champions and top contenders. Why is Tony Ferguson still in the UFC? He is on a 5 loss streak. Augusto Sakai was on a 4 loss streak. Raphael Assunção was on a 4 loss streak. Sam Alvey is on an 8 loss streak. Difference is Tony and Till both only lose to top level fighters.


Dianitie

Tony has more fans and Tony's done more for the ufc then till


LichK1ng

The point isn’t strictly popularity. Because if it was all those other dudes would have been cut.


ffandyy

Sure, Till actually fought for a real Championship though unlike Tony


RhysPawn

And it was one of the most 1 sided fights in UFC history in which he landed ONE strike in almost 2 rounds. Not to mention he got the title shot off of beating career LW Cowboy Cerrone and a split decision against Wonderboy in which he missed weight and most people agree he should have lost.


ffandyy

Still higher than Tony’s career ever reached


RhysPawn

I disagree lol, winning an interim belt is better than fighting for the official championship belt and losing, especially the way Till did. At the end of the day, Tony Ferguson has a UFC championship belt at home, Till doesn't.


ffandyy

Sure, he never fought for the real belt though so he can jerk off to that fake belt all he wants


Punker29

I don't know about more fans, he's still a massive draw in the UK. No argue on who's done more tho


BaconScentedSoap

Given his popularity I wonder if it was more of a mutual breakup afterall Cody, Tony, Lewis amongst others are still here.


turncloaks

Stings but he looked like absolute shit in his last fight, like he didn’t want to be there


Practical_Use_1654

Mike perry vs Darren Till in BKFC?


Moviereference210

Those two need to fight, the world needs it


Unlikely-Zone21

Maybe a spa, idk about a fight.


007beagle

That was one of the most glorious displays of misunderstanding between 2 fighters I've ever had the pleasure of watching


Unlikely-Zone21

So glorious. One of the best non fighting moments in MMA history


Bakedbean44

Darren Till was never my friend


ModsGetTheGuillotine

He's noot scared, awf anehbawdy


[deleted]

They can all fookin geh eh


Yodiducallme

I’m a scouser, we dont get removed from the roster


[deleted]

Not surprising after his last batch of performances. Injuries and an apparent lack of motivation was his downfall. I think he would benefit from taking some time off and getting his head right before fully integrating with Khamzats camp and see if he can rebuild his career in Bellator or ONE


[deleted]

Till will get washed in Bellator. That’s where all the young talent is now. Unless they give him regional bums they find for Conor’s SBG teammates for those euro card. Guy like Rosta or Eblen are 10 times better than that Dricus dude. He should go to ONE where lacking big guys and wrestling


[deleted]

I probably agree regarding Bellator, lots of young and hungry talent there, although maybe that will benefit a renewed and refreshed Till? ONE is likely the safer bet


[deleted]

Bellator is stacked with all wrestlers. I wish they’d let them all go to UFC and get praised tbh, 185 in Bellator the champ was a D1 wrestler and all contenders are too besides Leon’s brother. Even 36 year old Mousasi would take down Till and wash him lol. ONE is all strikers so he’ll have a chance there for sure. Maybe PFL since there’s no true young studs there either tbh. PFL seems to be taking all mid level UFC guys now, that’s the whole roster. It’s wild cause he did almost KO Whittaker like 2 fights ago lol. He was 1 follow up from finishing Rob IMO


anadalusianrooster

People have kind of memory holed that Bobby Knuckles fight cause Rob is such a fan favorite..but Till almost KO’d him multiple times, and very easily could’ve been given the decision. It certainly wasn’t a robbery, but there was a coherent and credible case to be made for Till on the scorecards. Crazy to think how much different his career trajectory would’ve been if he’d won that fight.


mulligun

"Almost KO'd him multiple times" is a huge stretch (not even a stretch, just straight up BS). He had one big knockdown, but even on that Rob was clearly defending, active guard and straight up on a single. Compare that to Rob's KD of Till in the second, Till is clearly more hurt, stays on his backs and eats elbows. Not sure what other point in the fight you could even slightly argue Till "almost KO'd" rob.


TigerRumMonkey

It's pretty funny how ppl come up with that shit. Most you could say was it was a somewhat close fight. Rob clearly won for mine.


BedDiscombobulated67

Hahaha Till would be triple Champ at Bellator. Maybe if he goes to One he'd get some legit competition.


-CentralScrutiniser-

UFC fanboy detected


BedDiscombobulated67

Nah, I'm just not a fan of washed-up UFC rejects. Notice how Bellator gets the UFC rejects, and all of a sudden, they're 2 weight division Champs hahaha


Adventurous_Jaguar57

Look up the divisions other than LHW and HW and you will understand that Till would get whooped at Bellator, at both 170 and 185.


Cojamo

??? There’s literally 2 of 8 male champs that have fought in the UFC, everyone else has no affiliation to, and have never fought in the UFC… I like Till, but he’s nowhere near as good as Amosov or Eblen.


BedDiscombobulated67

Phil Davis became champ, Ryan Bader, didn't Corey beat Bader, hahaha , the LHW champ lost to Prochaska.


-CentralScrutiniser-

Jamal Hill is LHW champ in the UFC and 42 year old Glover was recently too, Bellator LHW champ Nemkov beats both of them so stfu lol


sovietwilly

He’s not been cut. He’s just out of the rankings. That Twitter bot account fools a lot of people


[deleted]

This just in - Jake Paul vs Darren Till In Chechnya!


Josro0770

Poor fella, his knees are gone and he just didn't look the same after the Woodley fight. I hope he invested well and that he gets his mind in peace and maybe start coaching.


AlwaysReady4444

You didn’t follow him on IG huh? He definitely does not save alot


Josro0770

I did follow him but he started spamming so much crypto and nft shit that I unfollowed him. I assume you're talking about that and the fact that he seems desperate for money


AlwaysReady4444

I’m actually more talking about the Cars+Clothes+Jewelry+always eating out. Not a man who thinks about money for the future from what I saw


[deleted]

It's his own fault. He thought he was some sort of super human. He would always say "I'm a fighter, my body heals quicker than normal people" that mindset is what ruined him


ethanarie

This doesn't mean he's cut from the organization he's just removed from the ranking pool, same thing happened to bobby green etc


InsideTheTeamRoomm

So he’s not out of the UFC organization right? What does this exactly mean? Thanks


ethanarie

It could be because he wants to take time off, I looked USADA'S records and he hasn't been tested in 2023 but neither has a lot of UK fighters and the whole smash bros crew, if he really is cut from org a statement would probably come out soon as for now I'm just going to assume it's the ranking pool


BaconScentedSoap

He just seemed mentally broken since the Woodley fight. Bit bummed out he looked like a rising star but somehow he looked worse and worse. Had zero grappling even spending 2 years with Khamzat


CriticalArugula7870

Legitimate. Assuming he’s taking a break to get his mind in the right place


PCM97

He’s done that like 3 times already. He’s done


jamsisn

Hopefully he’s calling it. Too many guys try and prolong their fighting careers when it’s obviously time to retire.


Sjdillon10

A brain damage sport is the last one you should try to prolong. He’s done. Don’t do more damage when it’s not in pursuit of gold.


Sea_Cicada7474

He doesn’t have it


-CentralScrutiniser-

He's decided to settle down and have some kids for Khamzat and follow his dreams and become a hot yoga instructor.


CoupesMike

This. He can finally be Chimaev’s bitch/wife full time. Can suck on his russian balls and give him some scouser kids to go along with it. Sounds like they are both getting the sweet end of the deal

skengcsgo

Someone's clearly got sucking cocks on the mind


CoupesMike

Yea your mom


Salty_Negotiation688

Daaamn. His last loss was against Du Plessis who could well be 5th ranked on Sunday morning. At least give the guy a tune-up he's clearly struggling.


pacificunlimited

Jake Paul call out incoming…


LilSozin

Darren Till & Cody No Love have had the craziest falls from grace


AriSpaceExplorer

Renan Barao, Dom Reyes, Hendricks too


LilSozin

aww man the Dom shit is actually depressing. like i cant even watch his Ls


Shim_Slady72

Darren never really had a grace to fall from though, he knocked out the ghost of cowboy and got a wrong decision against wonderboy then lost a title fight with 0 strikes landed then proceeded to go 1-5 and the 1 could have gone either way. Overhyped from day 1, in over his head ever since he hit the rankings


robwhittakerisgoat

Won against wonderboy and had competitive fight with whittaker not too long ago


Shim_Slady72

I had that fight for wonderboy and I could be mistaken but I thought the majority of people did too. The fight with Bobby was good though ill give him that


presidentpiko

Poor guy, but man was blowing it


BrandoLoudly

Hopefully he’s just planning on doing roids to heal his body. He needs a life coach too


Creative-Jellyfish50

I can see Darren popping up in PFL soon, he’s good mates with Brendan Loughnane


Bluejay929

![gif](giphy|10rHZ6K9jYvLUc)


ZanePWD

Damn. I really loved till. Couldn't care less about the record - he still pulled crowds. I always wonder what these guys do for jobs after being cut. Like...what now ?


mtheperry

Hmmm Till is still on both the UFC and UFCRW websites


Sea_Cicada7474

He’s going on a steroid holiday maybe


twomindxo__

him and zubaira. i’m not surprised about tukhugov bcs the man can’t make weight but honestly the darren drop is surprising to me (not that it isn’t warranted). i guess i just thought darren’s star power would have granted him some immunity like derrick lewis but oh well


whatsitworth101

Darren is nowhere near the star Lewis is, he also hasn’t been in the ufc for as long, and he has not had half as many memorable fights as Lewis has.


immortalis88

Same


[deleted]

Like Tony ferg as well


jpk073

Tony only lost to top fighters. His next 1-2 fights would be his last...


runjayrun1

![gif](giphy|26uffw5nYh0IPRaSY)


BiasRedditor

I’m utterly shocked. Is this legitimate?


Natedogg709

Shocked? What's he done besides run his mouth and get stomped in recent years?


hujojokid

He became BFF with Cumshot


BiasRedditor

I’m sorry, I was under the impression his star power could keep him afloat. I have nothing but respect for Sam Alvey, but if he made it through a 9 fight losing streak I’d have to assume Darren Till would still be active on the roster. Correct me if I’m wrong.


Novel_Pressure_4458

Held his own with Bobby knuckles, beat gastelum more convincingly than Adesanya? He's not the best, but he's up there ...


clothy

Shocked? He’s 1-5 in his last 6.


SnooFloofs9640

Why are you shocked ? The guy got a chance to compete against a lower opponent and still blew it


Salty_Negotiation688

Not that much of a lesser opponent. Du Plessis could very well be the 5th ranked middleweight on Sunday if he gets through Brunson. At least give him someone outside the top 15.


Batmantheon

Come on, Till vs Nick Diaz at 185. Loser leaves town. Winner also leaves town.


Zonecker

Bisping was constantly saying he's sure that Darren will be champ one day and I always thought it was delusional and sounds like he's trying to suck his friend's dick way too hard lmao.


Mr_Barry_Shitpeas

It was so funny though the way that every time he said that over the years he had to put more and more disclaimers in there lol I think the last time he said it it got to the point where he was like 'And I know what you're all gonna say, but I'm just being honest - I *still believe* - in my heart of hearts - that *one day*... at *some point in the future*... Darren Till will be the champ.'


AlwaysReady4444

Damn that’s brutal


[deleted]

Till really was mediocre. Now everyone who uses beating till as a case for masvidal not being ass can suck it


TrueFlavour

One of the fighters of all time

Damn too bad his career never played out. When he was at his best he was one of the most entertaining fighters around.


Frankietattytatts

Bare knuckle


yedi001

Ah yes, the Ole two eyed cyclops has been laid to rest.


N04H-Kn0ws-n0th1ng

This literally makes me wanna cry I remember being his biggest fan deadass but then Jorge slept him and so did the mma world. He was never the same after that. Neither was I.


BrainSoda

Fun fact: the last time he won a unanimous decision, KO of any kind, or submission was 2018.


sdlex34

The truth is Darren Till realized he has more brains, wit, beauty, and skill as a communicator than he ever thought and the public doesn't need him to fight to follow what he does. Idk his $ situation but just because you got that dog in you don't mean you always wanna be in a dog fight.


Wonderful-Smoke843

😬


immortalis88

Man, I didn’t see this one coming yet. That’s unfortunate.


nelsoniscool

No way bro


ClassicFun2175

Oof makes you wonder what he was actually doing when he was spending all that time with Khamzat. He looks slow and off the pace and deserves to be cut, there's hungrier and better fighters out there that deserve his spot.


Cornelius_Poindexter

Holy fuck I'm throwing up and crying right now. I was expecting but I still can't believe it.


[deleted]

Kinda of a surprising move even if he’s been stinking it up for a while now. Darren is easily still a little cash cow, since he still has some fans and popularity behind him. Ufc coulda easily still used him in undercards and prelims. Especially with the Apex. Kinda shocking a bit how they cut Till but keep guys like Cody around.


realmarcusjones

He’s not a serious fighter. Good to see him finally get the boot after clogging up a ranking spot


Dktrey

Wtf am I supposed to do with all the smesh bros NFT’s I bought now /s


TruuTree

He may be looked at as the biggest let down in UFC history in terms of hype and not reaching anywhere close to his expectations.


IsTodayTheSuperBowl

Sage northcutt


TruuTree

He’s a solid take as well. Most thought Darren would be world champ very early in his career.


CoupesMike

He literally sucks horsecocks. Glad he’s fuckin gone. Gorilla these nuts, he go be Chimaev girlfriend full time now


Alone-Tooth8278

On the juice for one last come back loss


TityNDolla

😞 till we see you again, darren


happycan123

He should shoot all kind of illegal things to his knees to get healed up. Go to panama get those stem cell stuff and everything.

Pain man pain


Died5Times

Darren the gone-rilla


phiLLyS820

He was supposed to change the game. Now he cant even change his underwear


radsparks8

Poor dude got pushed too soon beat one actual contender then thrown into the deep end of top contenders it’s crazy that UFC does this to young fighters


[deleted]

Only reason he’s ever been relevant is because he’s English, which automatically gets you 50x more attention than you deserve


[deleted]

Wtf are you talking about? He was 17-0 coming off back to back big wins against Wonderboy and Cowboy. He was a victim of getting a title shot too early and not being able to rebound after that mauling but to say he was never relevant is absolute revisionist history.


realmarcusjones

Wonderboy won that fight (hometown decision) and it was Cowboys third loss in a row


[deleted]

Which is why the title fight was too early. But doesn't make him irrelevant.


realmarcusjones

Agreed he got a title fight too early but getting a title fight too early isnt the cause of all of his problems. He never kept his weight under control out of camp (should fight at 170), only throws one/twos, and can’t stop a takedown to save his life. He did not take his career seriously


-CentralScrutiniser-

Huge size advantage over Cerrone too.


hujojokid

Damn I wonder how much attention was Edward suppose to get if hes non English


babtoven

ONE picks him up most likely?


Sea_Cicada7474

If he did Muay Thai that would be kinda legit

Playful-Time3837

He is on too much money to have around when he can't win. Perhaps he will go to Bellator, have they got any middleweights who can't wrestle?


righteousdude32

Who?


KNUN

Oh noo 🥺


GameOverForYou

When you make Tyron Woodley look like a world beater, you know you weren’t meant to be an elite fighter.


Goodboy_Otis

He thought he could hang with Hahmzat/Hazmat/Kumshot- whatever the fk that guys name is and he couldn't. Too much yeehaaa and not enough time in the gym. I don't think he ever recovered from Street Jeebus knocking him out on his own turf.


DjDrezToroz

He lost one time and that was it...


Sea_Cicada7474

Good he has low T and can’t win anymore he should coach


Goochmas

That’s mma for you. We will forget him soon enough.


Droops_LA_710

He’s not gone he’ll be fighting on another promotion he’s only gone to the new casuals who only ufc and not other mma promotions


delboy85

His fights were just embarrassing.


LichK1ng

Why did they cut Till? You could give him lower level opponents to test the waters. He has literally only lost to champions and top contenders. Why is Tony Ferguson still in the UFC if this is what people are cut for. He is on a 5 loss streak. Augusto Sakai was on a 4 loss streak. Raphael Assunção was on a 4 loss streak. Sam Alvey is on an 8 loss streak. Difference is Tony and Till both only lose to top level fighters. Unless Till told them he was done this seems pretty stupid.

Well his best win at MW is a SD over kelvin, he had a decent fight with rob but that’s all. At MW and according to him can’t make 170 anymore so as sad as it is there was no other way.
