Undefeated UFC welterweight contender Darren Till defeated perennial title challenger Stephen Thompson in his latest octagon performance. However, Till missed weight for the match up.
Ever since then, the Liverpool native has been receiving a series of heated comments from fight fans. Now Darren Till is set to challenge UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley for his title in the main event of UFC 228, live on pay-per-view Sept. 8.
Speaking at a recent media scrum, Darren Till offered a message for those concerned with his weight cut for his upcoming title fight.
“It’s sh*t. I hate cutting weight, I hate making weight, I hate dieting. I’m going to make this weight. I can’t wait to step on the scales. I’m in that moment now, where, you know, I don’t want to train anymore, I don’t want to eat good anymore.”
“I wish I had a hamburger in front of me, but it’s all sacrifices. I made a mistake last time, and I just can’t wait to say ‘f*ck you’ to everyone who keeps babbling on about weight. ‘He didn’t make weight, f*ck Till.’ F*ck them!”
