MMA veteran Darren Till has explained why he can see himself returning to the sport at some point in the future.

At the age of 33, Darren Till has already had a pretty solid combat sports career, which included challenging for the UFC welterweight championship. However, after a poor losing streak to end his UFC run, many felt as if we would never see him in the promotion again.

Till has since gone on to have some strong showings in the boxing and bare-knuckle boxing world, and in his next outing, he will attempt to overcome Yoel Romero when they collide next month in Manchester at BKFC 94.

For Till, though, his story in mixed martial arts may not be over just yet.

Till still wants another MMA run

“I actually don’t think I’m done,” Till told MMA Junkie when asked if he’d ever fight MMA. “I’ve been pondering about it for a while now, and a lot of people are like, ‘Till, you exited when you fought Dricus (Du Plessis) and you nearly beat him, then he went on to be the champ, so you weren’t done with MMA. I don’t know why you left.’ People don’t understand.

“This is not me sitting here, because I give kudos to the people I’ve beaten; I’ve beaten them fair and square. I think my record’s like 19-4 or something in MMA, and to the people who beat me, I had such a close fight with Whittaker, but still, he won fair and square. But people don’t realize the severe trauma my body was actually in at that point. I wasn’t really filled out as a middleweight. I wasn’t of the size, and there was just trauma to my knees. I’ve had doctors look at it, and they don’t even think I should be fighting. Like, I have a torn ACL in one and a torn MCL in another, which I haven’t gotten addressed at this point.”
