There, the police were already there and recognized the UFC welterweight and arrested him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI won\u2019t name no names, but a taxi was not stolen. Well, it was stolen and drove around the block a few times. I went (to) the scene, I was somewhere else. I had left the hotel, as well,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;Then when the police were rounding everyone up, they (saw) me. Straight away, the police was like, \u2018Darren Till.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018Yeah,\u2019 and I knew what was going on.
