The fan-favorite UFC Middleweight Darren Till is set to make his return after more than a year of hiatus on UFC 282. The British fighter has struggled in his last few fights and desperately needs a win. However, even before the fight begins, he has already managed to capture people’s attention with his arm tattoo.
A woman’s face is portrayed on Till’s left arm and the lady looks suspiciously similar to former UFC fighter turned Only fans model Paige VanZant. When asked, the former Welterweight was quick to shut down fan speculations about Paige saying, “I don’t even know who that is”
Till later revealed the tattoo actually portrays his Ex-girlfriend. Why ‘The Gorilla’ decided to get his arm tattooed remains a mystery to even himself.
“It was a surprise for her birthday. I don’t know what I was thinking. I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m going to do something different. I’m going to get a tattoo of her face’ … So, every time I fight, she fights too. And she gets beat up with me, do you know what I mean? So, if she’s p***ing me off, I just go to the gym and let some guys punch me.”
Fans have recently noticed that the picture of the lady is slowly getting covered by the tattoo of a Gorilla. Darren probably wants to bury his past as he currently has a new girlfriend and aims to raise his daughters right.
Till will face off against Dricus Du Plessis in a middleweight bout. The British fighter moved to Sweden to train with the welterweight title contender Khamzat Chimaev. Later he trained at Tiger Muay Thai. With all this training, fans would definitely love to see him come back stronger.
