Ranking 10 Greatest Ever MMA Fighters From The UK & Ireland

4. Darren Till (17-2-1)

Despite the fact that Darren Till still only 26, he has already had a career that most professional mixed martial artists would envy. The Liverpool native, whose nicknamed 'The Gorilla,’ went 5-0-1 over the course of his first six UFC bouts and earned a shot at the UFC Welterweight Championship.

Till would ultimately fall short of capturing the title from Tyron Woodley in September of 2018, but still has some very impressive wins on his resume. He has a TKO victory over Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone and also defeated former title challenger Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson.

However, ‘The Gorilla’ is more than just a UFC fighter with an impressive record. At present, he is perhaps the most popular active fighter from the UK.

His recent two-fight skid against Tyron Woodley and Jorge Masvidal respectively may be cause for concern among his fan base. That being said, Till is still very young and should have plenty of time to right the ship and take his career to new heights.
