This past Saturday, UFC middleweight Darren Till was having a bad day when the little voice in back of his head told him to stop moping and get to the gym. No one was there, so he worked out alone, in darkness, shouting at himself in the mirror.
A broken collarbone has been the sole interruption to a fight camp that feels to Till like it’s stretched for one year, and the break he feels he might need afterward is shadowed by another one as he approaches a UFC Vegas 36 headliner opposite Derek Brunson.
