What’s happening everyone,
Me, Dana & Hunter are still cool as fuck.
I asked UFC 2 remove me just 2 sort some other shit for the foreseeable,
They happily agreed to release me out of contract which I appreciate.
I’m not going anywhere, got big plans to execute & I’ll be back. 🦍— DT (@darrentill2) March 1, 2023
According to Till, he asked the UFC to release him from his current contract because he has to “just 2 sort some other sh*t for the foreseeable” and has plans to return.
Till has lost five of his past six UFC contests, including the last three in a row. He last competed at UFC 282 and lost via submission to Dricus Du Plessis.
His overall record is 18-5-1.
Later, Till teased a move to boxing.
