Undefeated UFC welterweight contender Darren Till is now locked in to challenge reigning UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley for his title. With that in mind, Till is now coming under fire for a recent statement concerning the matter.
Speaking in a recent media crum, Darren Till offered his opinion on legacy. The statement has since drawn negative attention from many fight fans.
“I’m not in this to make money, be a champion, leave. I’m in this for people to say at the end of it, ‘You were the greatest.’ That’s my only mentality. F—k money, f—k everything else.”
“You can’t have worries outside of this game. I’ve got a girlfriend who’s nearly seven months pregnant. I don’t really care. I’ve got a daughter in Brazil right now who I haven’t seen for one year. I don’t really care. I just care about legacy and greatness. That’s what I’m in this for.
“I’m not in this to make money, be a champion, leave. I’m in this for people to say at the end of it, ‘You were the greatest.’ That’s my only mentality. (Expletive) money, (expletive) everything else.”
