UFC fans react to Darren Till’s grotesque injury: “Man is never gonna fight”
British UFC star Darren Till is currently busy preparing for his long awaited comeback at UFC 282 on December 10, but a grotesque eye injury has left fans worried that he might pull out of the scheduled bout.
If everything goes to plan, “The Gorilla” Till will take on South African Dricus du Plessis at UFC 282. With only one win in his last five outings, as well as two straight losses, Till is in desperate need of a win in his next fight. Frequent injuries have prevented him from competing since his loss by submission to Derek Brunson. If Till makes it to UFC 282 healthy, the fight against du Plessis will be his first in over a year.
Following a shoulder injury, Till was forced to pull out of an anticipated showdown against Jack Hermansson at UFC London in July. His previous history of being forced to pull out of fights might explain fans’ reactions to the graphic pictures Till recently shared of a nasty eye injury he suffered in Thailand.
