Surging contender Darren Till stirred up some controversy earlier this week when he said he cares more about winning the UFC welterweight title than his pregnant girlfriend and daughter.
“You can’t have worries outside of this game,” Till told reporters. “I’ve got a girlfriend who’s seven months pregnant, I don’t really care. I’ve got a daughter in Brazil who I haven’t seen for a year, I don’t really care. I just care about legacy and greatness. That’s what I’m in this for.”
Several fans and reporters were caught by surprise by Till’s comments, but the Liverpudlian says he was trying to express just how focused he is on winning the welterweight title at UFC 228 and that his girlfriend took no offense.
