Till (18-5-1), a longtime
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> welterweight and middleweight
\ncontender who parted ways with the promotion in 2022, is aware of
\nthe
\nUFC Freedom 250<\/a> card taking place on Sunday at the White House,
\nbut claims he couldn\u2019t care less about it. In a conversation this
\nweek with Ariel Helwani, \u201cThe Gorilla\u201d shared his views on what he
\nsees as declining overall interest in the industry leader.
\nNonetheless, he was careful to separate his criticisms of the
\ncompany from those of its CEO, Dana White. Till\u2019s disappointment
\nwith White started when the UFC honcho said he didn\u2019t care about
\ncriticism regarding the UFC\u2019s use of artificial intelligence in
\npromotional videos.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot interested [in the White House card],\u201d the 33-year-old
\nEnglishman said. \u201cAs a fan, I just don’t think there’s that much
\nhype around the UFC anymore. I really don’t. For me, there\u2019s no
\nhype; I don’t get excited for fights, whereas I used to, and I
\ndon’t know why that is. Maybe it’s not being promoted right. I
\ndon’t like saying this because he is a good guy, but I’ve just
\nreally gone off every interview that Dana does. I can’t watch any
\ninterview to do with him anymore, I just can’t.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Till initially left the door open to a return to MMA when he
\nleft the UFC, he has experienced a career renaissance in the
\nsquared circle. Till has picked up three wins in Misfits boxing,
\nincluding a title win against fellow UFC veteran Luke
\nRockhold<\/a> last year. Till also picked up a knockout win in his
\nBare Knuckle Fighting Championship debut last month.<\/p>\n

DarrenTill admits he’s lost interest in the
\nUFC, and he’s not entirely sure why:<\/p>\n

“I just don’t think there’s that much hype around the UFC anymore.
\nI really don’t… I don’t get excited for fights, whereas I used
\nto, and I don’t know why that is.<\/p>\n
