UFC middleweight Darren Till is being investigated by Merseyside Police after sharing offensive posts on his official Instagram page.

Till (18-3-1 MMA) has amassed a large social media following thanks to his erratic trash talk and brash sense of humor. However, a few days ago the Liverpool native apparently crossed the line when he shared a meme mocking transgender pregnancy.

In addition to receiving a temporary ban from the social media platform, Darren Till is also being investigated by Merseyside Police according to a report from LiverPoolEcho.

“The post got 100k likes… it was a successful day of posting on Instagram I would say… I’ve got a belter post this weekend for u, even more offensive. turn post notifications on!!!!” – Till shared on Twitter.

Darren Till is expected to make his return to the Octagon on September 4 for a middleweight showdown with Derek Brunson.
