‘He’s fallen so far’ - MMA fans slam Darren Till for chasing ‘big money fight’ with Logan Paul

MMA fans are roasting Darren Till on social media after his latest boxing announcement.

Earlier this year, Till requested to be released from the UFC to explore other opportunities, which the promotion accepted. Shortly after parting ways with his longtime employer, the Liverpool native revealed his plans to compete in boxing.

‘The Gorilla’ recently announced that he’s interested in fighting Logan Paul or Tommy Fury. Once the quote started spreading throughout social media, Till began receiving backlash on Twitter, including some people saying:

“So sad, he was so close to fighting Izzy if he could have just strung a few decent wins together now he’s talking about fighting YouTubers, this man isn’t coming back to the UFC he’s lying to cope.”
