UFC hall of famer Daniel Cormier warns Darren Till ahead of his next bout, stating that if he loses, “it could be all over”.
Darren Till steps back into the octagon this Saturday, taking on Dricus Du Plesis in Las Vegas. In a three-round bout, Till looks to make a comeback and get back into the winning column once again. Speaking on the ESPN show DC& RC, Daniel Cormier gave his opinion on the upcoming bout.
Daniel Cormier Weighs in on Darren Till vs. Dricus Du Plesis at UFC 282
Cormier stated, “The one thing about Till is he’s very popular. People still recognise him, and honestly, before Leon Edwards was the champ Till was the most popular English fighter because he’s recognisable and a big personality. I can’t tell you the amount of times Till has come for me on Twitter.”
Cormier added: “he’s a character, but the reality is that character only gets you so far. You’ve got to win fights. Darren Till has that skill set. He’s training out of Sweden now with those guys like Khamzat and the whole team at All-Star MMA. He has to implement what they teach, and he has to do it in a way that reminds everyone who Darren Till is and was between 170 and 185 lbs.
“He’s still young enough to make another run towards the championship. It all starts Saturday, if he can’t get past Du Plessis, it might be over for the being for Till. But it would skyrocket Dricus up the rankings into very important fights.”

The Challenge Ahead for Till
Dricus Du Plessis is not an easy opponent. Coming in on a five-fight win streak, he presents a big threat. Du Plesis has also won four out of his last five fights by finish. A striker with a mean submission game poses no easy feat and is uninterested in Till making a comeback. The two middleweight will clash on the main card of UFC 282, with high stakes for both fighters. This is not one to miss!
