Smith: Darren Till needs to ‘back way up’ to get mojo back after taking another loss
To regain his confidence, Anthony Smith says Darren Till should consider a step down in competition for his next UFC appearance.
Till suffered a third-round submission loss to Dricus Du Plessis in his return to the Octagon at UFC 282 this past Saturday. It was the third consecutive loss for the ‘Gorilla,’ who fell short against Derek Brunson and Robert Whittaker at UFC Vegas 36 and UFC Fight Island 3, respectively. Now 1-5 in his past six appearances at welterweight and middleweight, it appears as though Till faces a career crossroads.
