Darren Till has recently been called out by a number of his rivals in the middleweight division, and he wants them all to know he’s heard them. In fact, he’s grateful they see him as a worthwhile opponent, and is promising they’ll get their turns with him in the cage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Till sent a message to his fellow middleweights on Twitter on Tuesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Grateful to see these middleweights all calling me out! They know who the 💰 is in this division! Everyone will get theirs! Sincerely, The Gorilla.”<\/em> – Darren Till on Twitter<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Darren Till, a native of Liverpool, England, began his UFC career in the welterweight division. After going on an impressive tear and maintaining an undefeated record, he eventually experienced two consecutive losses: a submission at the hands of Tyron Woodley in a welterweight title fight, and a devastating knockout loss to Jorge Masvidal in his next outing thereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After these tough, stoppage losses, Till set his sights on the middleweight division, and was promptly matched up with Kelvin Gastelum. Though this matchup with Gastelum, who held the No. 5 spot in the middleweight rankings at the time, looked like a very tough welcome to the division, Till found a path to victory, defeating his foe by split decision in the UFC 244 co-main event earlier this month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In victory, Till usurped the No. 5 spot in the UFC middleweight rankings, and became one of the most sought after opponents in the division, even being called out by the former champion Robert Whittaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Till has also issued some callouts himself, most notably targeting former title challenger Yoel Romero \u2014 though he later walked that callout back in a hilarious Instagram post. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Who do you think Darren Till should fight next in the middleweight division? Do you think the Brit can work his way to a title shot? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
