It was recently confirmed that UFC Middleweight contender Darren Till would have to withdraw from his upcoming fight with Marvin Vettori. Till (18-3-1 MMA, 6-3-1 UFC) had to withdraw from the fight on Tuesday due to a collarbone injury.

Darren Till took to Instagram to offer comments on his withdrawal from the fight. “Every person who is around me or who has been around me knows I train on a daily basis with f*cked up knees, lower back, shoulders, hands and the list goes on.” 

‘Yesterday while drilling I fell and straight away I knew I’d broken something” Till continued. “To say I’m f*cking destroyed by it is an understatement. I’ve literally put my heart, soul, mind, physical body, cash, nutrition, sleep, recovery & then some into making sure I went out there next week & took his head off. And I was 100% sure I was going to’¦ and with ease!!!”

Darren Till also stated that he still plans on becoming Middleweight Champion. “One thing, I know who doesn’t support me in this sport and I want you to keep that same energy as the new generation say mark my words I will do anything and everything to become Middleweight world champion.”

“Peace see you all soon. Even got the UFC to change the times of the Vegas event for the 1st time in history for us Europeans. Power moves” Till added.

The scouse fighter then revealed an interesting fact regarding his ongoing battles with injury. “Funny story while we are on the subject of injuries. Me and Steven Gerrard have got the same doctor to fill us full of needles when we are going through severe pain. Or we did have the same, because he’s retired now.”

“The Doctor laughs every time he sees me” Till added, “and he says ‘it reminds me of him [Gerrard]. No cartilage left but still willing to do anything to perform not letting injuries get in the way.'”
