Another fan reacted to the tweet, criticizing the fan for inking Darren Till after his recent slump in his UFC career. “Still blows my mind that someone got a tattoo of a man who’s 1-5 in his last 6 fights,” the fan tweeted. In response to the criticism, Darren Till uploaded a picture of the fan alongside a picture of a Dachshund dog. “This blows my mind even more,” Till replied. Till’s response came after the two fans got into a heated exchange over Twitter.
The roasting further turned into a whole Twitter thread after more fans joined in to argue about the behavior shown by the fan as well as Darren Till. The UFC fighter has been a constant point of criticism in the last couple of years due to constant losses in his last 6 fights.
By the end of 2019, Darren Till was being considered an up-and-coming fighter in the Welterweight division of UFC and a future championship prospect. However, Till’s recent turnaround has disappointed a lot of fans. Some fighters have even referred to Till as ‘lost’.

The downturn in Darren’s career started after his K.O. loss to Jorge Masvidal at UFC Fight Night in London, Till’s hometown. The British fighter has lost all 4/4 of his fights ever since.
Darren Till’s social media engagement and friendship with fellow Welterweight, Khamzat Chimaev have kept him relevant as a fighter. However, his presence in the UFC has been a matter of concern for fans due to the UFC’s tendencies to release a fighter upon a prolonged losing streak.
