Darren Till expects to be 'the face' of BKFC, still wants Mike Perry
Darren Till has "made millions" since leaving UFC and says more big paydays are coming ahead of his BKFC debut.
There was a time when Darren Till was reluctant to shed his gloves and fight for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC). Then, founder David Feldman made a call with an irresistible number. "I've been in contact with him for a while, and when he contacted me, I could not turn down the offer," Till told MMA Junkie.
"Let's have a go and see what happens. I actually think it's going to be really tailor-made to the way I am, the way I fight, and I just think all of these guys are too slow. I think I'm going to have a lot of success.
" Former UFC welterweight title challenger Till is scheduled to make his promotional debut in the co-main event of BKFC 90 on May 30 in Birmingham, England. He takes on Aaron Chalmers in a matchup that will be a test of whether Till enjoys this version of combat sports. If he does, he said the sky is the limit.
"If I want to be, I'm going to be the face of this bareknuckle in three fights," Till said. "I don't make anything of Chalmers. He's been around the fight game.
