UFC Roster Watch on Twitter stunned a lot of people on Tuesday when it posted its recent group of fighter removals, which included welterweight-turned-middleweight contender Darren Till.
Despite his most recent loss — a third-round submission to Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 282 this past December, it appeared as though Till would remain on the roster. UFC president Dana White praised the ‘Gorilla’ after his ‘Fight of the Night’ awarded performance, saying his stock has not ‘dropped at all’.
That said, Till revealed he wanted some time off after his loss to Du Plessis, and he got it.
