Darren Till still has a goal of returning to the UFC. Till (18-5-1 MMA, 6-5-1 UFC) requested his release in March 2023 after going on a three-fight losing streak. Till had been dealing with a slew of knee injuries , which he thinks factored into his submission loss to current middleweight champ Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 282 . Since parting ways with the UFC, Till has gone 2-0 in boxing exhibition bouts, most recently scoring a Round 6 TKO of Anthony Taylor under the Misfits Boxing banner in January. He takes on fellow UFC veteran Darren Stewart in another boxing match March 29 at AO Arena in Manchester, England, but hasn’t forgotten about his octagon return.
