Win Methods
Darren Till, better known as "The Gorilla", brings a 18-5-1 record into every walk to the cage — and in a division as crowded as middleweight, every single win matters.
A balanced operator — 10 wins by KO, 2 by submission, 6 on the scorecards. No single weapon to game-plan around, which is exactly the problem. Add the southpaw stance, and the puzzle gets harder still.
He's coming off a loss to Dricus Du Plessis. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.
