Darren Till’s departure from the UFC was his choice, he claims.
Speculation arose when algorithm-based Twitter account, UFC Roster Watch tweeted that Till’s name has been removed from the UFC database on Tuesday.
However, according to Till (18-5 MMA, 6-5-1 UFC), he requested his release from the UFC.
“What’s happening everyone, Me, Dana & Hunter are still cool as f*ck. I asked UFC 2 remove me just 2 sort some other sh*t for the foreseeable, They happily agreed to release me out of contract which I appreciate. I’m not going anywhere, got big plans to execute & I’ll be back. “

Till has struggled in the octagon as of late. The former welterweight title challenger was seeking new life at middleweight, but was unable to emerge as a contender after going 1-3. After edging out Kelvin Gastelum in his middleweight debut, Till dropped his past three fights in a row, most recently a third-round submission loss to Dricus Du Plessis this past December at UFC 282, which earned both men Fight of the Night.
Till was unbeaten in his professional MMA career up until he fell short in a welterweight title fight against Tyron Woodley in September 2018, and has now lost five of his past six fights overall. The 30-year-old Liverpool native holds notable wins over Gastelum, Stephen Thompson and Donald Cerrone.
