‘Not motivated by fame or money’: Darren Till badly wants to snap skid at UFC 282

LAS VEGAS – Darren Till appears to have the right type of driving force behind him going into Saturday’s UFC 282 showdown with Dricus Du Plessis.

Till (18-4-1 MMA, 6-4-1 UFC) will attempt to avoid the first three-fight losing skid of his career when he meets Du Plessis (17-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) in a key middleweight bout, which takes place at the T-Mobile Arena and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN2 and ESPN+. It’s a hugely important fight for the Brit, who has not been able to put the right pieces together to get his hand raised since November 2019.

It’s been more than three long years since Till won a fight. That stretch has come with a lot of hardship, but Till said he’s always kept a positive mentality, and thinks he’s in the right spot to change his fortunes this weekend.
