Darren Till wants to fight on August 2.
Unfortunately, his announcement centered around Nate Diaz went up in smoke after his fellow UFC welterweight veteran bailed on the fight. In addition, attempts to resurrect feuds with the likes of Jorge Masvidal and Mike Perry fell flat.
“I had fight news to announce to everyone this week,” Till said on social media. “Nate Diaz called the fight on with me, he wanted to fight me on the second of August. Obviously, I accepted. Now he’s pulled out of the fight. Carl Froch said on his YouTube channel that he only needs four weeks to fight me, now he’s saying he only wants to fight me next year. Tyron Woodley said he’d be interested but not right now. Jorge Masvidal said he’s not interested — in fact, Masvidal priced himself out.”
Masvidal has a history of jacking up his price tag to avoid turning down a fight.
“Mike Perry priced himself out, even though Mike Perry offered me $350,000 to fight in his promotion,” Till continued. “Mike Perry priced himself out by five times that. I need to go in August now against any one of you, but you are all giving out excuses, this and that, even though two of you have beat me. Nate Diaz is the one who called the fight on with me. So you are all a gang of absolute (expletive) ponies.”
Till was finished by both Woodley (UFC 228) and Masvidal (UFC London).
The 32 year-old “Gorilla” is currently a featured boxer for the Misfits promotion and was last seen beating up fellow UFC veteran Darren Stewart last month in Derby. There has been talk of a return to the Octagon at some point down the road, which may be expedited if the hot-headed scouser is unable to find work on the boxing circuit.
Diaz has yet to comment on Till’s claims.
