Darren Till has only seen his newborn daughter once ahead of UFC comeback

UFC star Darren Till has sacrificed time with his newborn daughter Alba to prepare for his comeback fight.

Till, 29, is back in action for the first time in 15 months this Saturday as he faces Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 282 in Las Vegas. 'The Gorilla' is hoping to get back in the winning column having lost four of his past five fights, whilst former EFC and KSW champion Du Plessis is unbeaten for over four years.

To concentrate entirely on his fight camp, Till left his family at home and prepared by himself in Thailand. It was a tough decision to make for Till as it meant he missed the early weeks of his newborn daughter's life. "I had a newborn child about 13 weeks ago and I've only seen her once because I flew out to Thailand the day after she was born after for training camp," he told Mirror Fighting .
