Harry Kettle - August 31, 2023

Former UFC fighter Darren Till has opted to plead guilty to driving without insurance and driving while disqualified, as reported by Liverpool Echo. Earlier this year, Darren Till left the Ultimate Fighting Championship. While he hasn’t competed since, many are still keeping one eye on the Liverpudlian to see what could be next for him. Some believe it’ll be a UFC title, whereas others aren’t sure if he’ll ever fight again. Either way, he has a large fanbase, and that’ll continue to be the case for a long time to come.
