BKFC

Darren Till remains optimistic that he can not only get a fight with Mike Perry, but the two can even sell out a stadium.

Till competed in the BKFC 94 main event this past Saturday. He took on fellow ex-UFC star Yoel Romero in a bout that went the distance. “The Gorilla” survived Romero’s blitz to earn a unanimous decision. The win improved Till’s bare-knuckle boxing record to 2-0.

Now that the Romero fight is behind him, Till is looking to move on to a grudge match that has long alluded him. Speaking to reporters during the BKFC 94 post-fight press conference, Till said he thinks a clash with Perry can still be quite lucrative in 2027 (via MMAFighting).

“It’s eight years now in the making me and Mike Perry and people are going to have other opinions … I personally think me and Perry sell a stadium out,” Till said. “I think the history, the back and forth for eight years, what could come of that? I sold that arena out tonight. I f*cking respect Yoel more than anything on this Earth. He’s a f*cking phenom but that was my arena tonight. If me and Mike Perry [fight], we’ll sell a stadium out.

“If Mike wants to come back here and he wants to be he ‘A’ side and get more money or whatever, my managers hate me now for saying this, but I don’t give a f*ck. But I want that fight. I want that fight to start next year if David [Feldman] can make that happen and I know he can.”

Perry is recovering from a dislocation he suffered in an upset loss against late replacement opponent Brandon Jenkins back in August. BKFC president David Feldman is hopeful that he can book Perry vs. Till in the near future.
