Khamzat Chimaev‘s teammate Darren Till is a well-known figure in the world of mixed martial arts. He is a former UFC title challenger and boasts a professional record of 18 wins, 5 losses, and 1 no-contest. Till recently addressed the USADA-UFC controversy and it looks like “The Gorilla” is pretty happy with the decision.

USADA announced the end of its nine-year partnership with the UFC. Darren Till had some comments to make on this when talking to The Schmo. “Superhuman athletes coming to a UFC near you soon? ” Till said. Addressing the separation, Till underscored his avoidance of the sport’s politics and financial aspects. He emphasizes his preference for addressing any concerns with Dana White face-to-face. Till revealed that he intends to return to the octagon. “…I’ll be back at the UFC one day,” Till said. “…Even though everyone thinks I won’t, but I will.”
