Darren Till blew out his knee at UFC on ESPN 14

UFC middleweight Darren Till and Robert Whitiker headlined a technical battle this past weekend. Both fighters suffered damage and neither came out of the firefight unscathed. 

Darren Till suffered a knee injury during the fight and was verified by a visit to the doctor’s office, according to Till’s coach.

“Torn MCL, doctors are amazed he was able to stand up for the last three rounds,” Heron said. “He is in a cast for six weeks then we’ll reassess. Hopefully, it will start to knit while immobilized.”

Till predicted that he had blown at his knee at the post-fight press conference. 

“In the second round, he knee-stomped me … and it just blew my knee (out),” Till said. “My knee just went (out) under me. It crashed. That was it then for the whole fight. I just had to stay static and sort of just fight on it.”

Till took to Instagram to thank his supporters and haters. 

What a week!

Just reflecting on my chess match of a fight with rob?

Enjoyed the competition,

Few things I hesitated on & should of capitalised.

It was a close close match as everyone said,

You could of gave it 3-2 me, 3-2 rob?

Either way is completely right I feel!

The 5th round the takedowns maybe didn’t count because I sprung back up each time therefore nullifying them…

But I ain’t crying over spilled milk.

Rob’s a terrific fighter & hats off to him,

We will get it done again.

As for me!

I’ve got some time off from a certain knee from a certain someone… rob? 😂

I told you all before this fight that I’m just getting started and I meant it…

I’m going to become the world champion

I’m going to become a legend &

I’m going to become a role model for young aspiring fighters everywhere.

As soon as I’m back this year I want to fight 2-3 times as quick as I can…

Thanks for the support, thanks for the hate.

Thanks for everything!!
