At this point it almost feels more like a curse than a promise. Tell people that you’ll become a multi-division champion in the UFC before you’ve even won your first belt, and your next stop is permanent contender status. Even among those skilled few, fortunate enough to capture a single UFC belt in their career, the feat is beyond rare. Randy Couture, BJ Penn, GSP, Daniel Cormier, and Conor McGregor; in the 20+ year history of UFC champions, those are the only men to complete the task.
Will Darren Till be next? Or has he already doomed himself to failure?
