Darren Till Girlfriend, Wife, Height, Weight, Body Net Worth, Bio

Popularly known as the Gorilla, Darren Till is a mixed martial artist who became popular in the Ultimate Fighting Championship where he fights in the welterweight division. Prior to the UFC, Till was also a Muay Thai fighter who fought in the welterweight division. Here is everything to know about him.

Biography of Darren Till

It was on December 24, 1992 that Darren Till was born in Liverpool, Merseyside. The English martial artist spent most of his youth doing what he still does: fight. By the age of just 14, he was definitely out of school to settle down and start fighting. Even before dropping out of school, he started training Muay Thai at the age of 12. After leaving school, he turned professional at the age of 15.

At 19, instead of taking the path taken by other martial artists by taking part in shows such as the Cage Warriors and BAMMA when he moved to Brazil, Darren instead, before doing so, he indulged to a fight at a party that stabbed him twice in the back. It was a very serious incident that almost cost him his life. As soon as all is well, his trainer sends him to Brazil where he does not know Portuguese.

In Brazil he started from scratch but was able to pick himself up fairly quickly so that by the time he was called up to the UFC he was almost fully prepared and briefed on how to defeat any opponent on the ring. His first fight with the UFC was against Wendell de Oliveira in 2015 in Goiania, Brazil. In round two, Darren Hill was able to knock Wendell out. With the win, Till knew he was going to be a big name in the sport and that motivated him.

His next fight was with Nicolas Dalby. This would constitute the only fight that so far he has not won. The good thing is that he didn’t lose the fight either as it only ended in a draw. UFC Fight Night: Gustafsson vs. Teixeira was his next fight in 2017 against Jasin Ayari, which he won by unanimous decision. He then defeated Bojan Veličković in his next fight and then Donald Cerrone, whom he defeated by knockout. In 2018 he fought Stephen Thompson and knocked him out in the fifth round.

Darren Till’s career had a winning streak before he even made it to the UFC. His first professional fight was against Luciano Oliveira Ribeiro, which he won in 2013. In the same year, he fought seven more times winning all of them; three by total knockout, three by knockout, and one by submission. In 2014, he got involved in two more fights, winning the first by submission and the second by unanimous decision. His last fight before the UFC was in 2015, when he fought against Laerte Costa e Silva and defeated him by knockout.

girlfriend and wife

There is something that means the world to every gorilla man, it is strictly his daughter. Although he has yet to have a wife since he was never married, Darren Till has a daughter with his girlfriend who gave birth after moving to Brazil.

Four months after moving to South Americacountry, he met his girlfriend and together they had a daughter. Wanting to do something different for his birthday, the UFC star decided to get a face tattoo on his left arm. According to the martial artist, his girlfriend is unlike any other in the world and hence he believes that whenever he fights she also fights with him and whenever he gets beaten she takes also pain.

Much is still unknown about his girlfriend and daughter, but from what we’ve seen and heard him say about them, they really are at the epicenter of his life, just like his fighting career.

Height, weight and body measurements

Some sports require one all about height and bodybuilding. Interestingly enough, martial arts is not one of them. That said, then, it’s no surprise to find that a relatively successful martial artist like Darren Till isn’t the tallest man you could find, or even the most built.

In numbers, he stands at a height of 6 feet 0 inches (1.83 m) while his built body is 170 pounds (77 kg). His reach is 74″ and his leg is 42″. There is no denying the fact that his height and weight have come to help him record the record of 17 wins, one draw and no losses in his career so far.
