Darren Till has put absolutely everything into tomorrow’s career-pivotal fight against Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 282. In a recent interview with Mirror Fighting, the middleweight revealed what costs the fight comes with.

”I had a newborn child about 13 weeks ago and I’ve only seen her once because I flew out to Thailand the day after she was born after for training camp,” Till said and hopes the hard training will pay off come Saturday.

”So I’ve cut no corners, I’ve absolutely given my all. When you’re one of the best and you do that, it’s all you can do. It’s going to show, my gas tank and conditioning are unbelievable. I’ve trained hard and done everything I can, what more can you ask for? That’s what the elites are meant to do, when you don’t cut any corners, good things happen.”

Darren Till: ”Really missed my family”

The 29-year-old fighter has not fought in 15 months and is in big need of a win in Las Vegas.

”The mentality doesn’t change, when money isn’t motivating you and it’s the belt. You want your to children to look at one and say that’s what my daddy achieved so they go in school with their heads held high,” Darren Till said.

”I’ve really missed my family, if you would have asked me a few years ago what I would have done after this fight I would have said to go and party, but now I just want to get back to my family and spend Christmas with them. I’ve really missed them because I haven’t been home.”
