Message to Darren Till: Playtime is over.
Robert Whittaker and Darren Till might have had their fun on social media during lockdown, but ‘The Reaper’ wants ‘The Gorilla’ to know ahead of their headlining bout at UFC Fight Night 174 that he has no friends in the middleweight division.
“Darren Till was never my friend.”
“Honestly, it’s the same as it’s always been,” Whittaker told Submission Radio in a recent interview. “It’s cool how it’s a different approach, but I’m not really thinking about whether Darren’s a cool guy or not. Before the fight was lined up, it was cool to just josh back and forth, have a bit of a laugh at it, and try to make some interest for the fight, but once we kinda knew we were fighting, I don’t really care what sort of person he is.
