“That's how the game works. The UFC said that it is with me, that it knows my potential and that it likes me, because I am always available to fight anyone, at any time. I'm a company man. The UFC gave me some options. One fight I really enjoyed was against (Sean) Strickland. They offered the fight to him too. I actually saw him a few times during the events and told him that if he wants the fight at some point, we can do it. I think he's a good fighter and this would be a good fight. I’m still fighting the best,” Till said.

The English fighter stated that he was not shaken by the negative sequence and recalled the high caliber of the opponents who defeated him.

"I am fine. Losses are part of life and you have to accept losses. No disrespect, it was a difficult defeat. (Derek) Brunson was the better man that night, but it was a tough loss. I know I can win this fight easily on my best day. I know it sounds so cliché, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and all of these things are enabling something better for me. I like the difficulties and this is another setback, but I don't want to have another one in my MMA career. I know my future looks very bright. Against Whittaker, I lost the fight in a fall and in my opinion he is the best middleweight or one of the best. I know where I am and people know where I am”, concluded 'Gorilla'.

Division number eight led by Israel adesanya, Darren till hasn't won a fight since November 2019, when he defeated Kelvin Gastelum by split decision. The fighter has a record of 18 triumphs, four setbacks and one draw.
