The brash young 24 year old welterweight knocked Donald Cerrone out in the first round of their affair in Gdansk, Poland earlier today.
An absolute shock to me came this afternoon as Cowboy fell the younger, and much larger man. People told me Till was the future but I just didn't listen, I didn't think the a somewhat inexperienced UFC fighter would take out a legend like Cowboy. I was less disappointing as time passed because Till just made a name for himself off an old vet, and we have an absolute contender in the welterweight division. The younger and stronger the man, the more time he has to grow.
Darren is also 16-0 now, undefeated records are always coveted, but they are much harder to come by in mixed martial arts than boxing. This streak and finishing potential with a disastrous left hand makes trouble for anyone in that division, we may have the youngest welterweight champion if Till can keep his level of experience in the gym high....and tune up his grappling. It was an true showout performance for the UFC's new star, and I can't wait for his rise!
The Liverpool native called out Mike Perry, a true barbarian of the 170 pound weight class. Till would most likely style on him as he is an absolute technician on the feet, Till may even tune up the world champ on the right night. 24 is still quite young to tamper with the top 5, but defeating a veteran and hard nosed guy like Cerrone has elevated him to a place I'd never thought we'd see.... Super stardom awaits this kid if he can keep it up, he has dynamite in those hands!
