Question: What % chance do you think there is of Danis pulling out of that fight?
Darren Till: “Dillon Danis is going to pull out of the fight 100%. He’s not going to take the fight, I’m sure of that but I’m ready to step in any time and they can contact me or my management. All the details are on twitter. It’s creating a lot of hype and interest but they’re just all so s***e.”
Q: Conor v Khabib did 2.4m PPV buys, highest in UFC history, can O’Malley top that one day?
DT: “No I don’t. I don’t think anyone can. Conor’s never coming back in my opinion. Conor’s struggling to let go. He doesn’t want to let it go. But it’s time to let go. He’s older, he doesn’t train like he used to. He’s got the money and his beautiful kids and the only problem is that he just does not want to let it go. There’s going to come a day where he realises he’s fighting with himself and has to let go. Every recording on Twitter he’s just drunk as fuck and I’m just crying my eyes out laughing at him. It will take him a while but he’ll find his peace. My opinion of Conor is you have to respect what he’s done but it’s time to let go. He’s struggling to let go. Maybe he’s not. Maybe he’s going to come back and prove us all wrong. He might just not be ready in terms of testing or he just wants to keep his name out there and he’s thinking in terms of next year. It’s tough to know. He’s a smarter businessman than most so you have to trust what he’s doing.”
Q: You retweeted Ryan Garcia’s tweet calling out KSI for making fun of a disabled lad and comparing him to Tommy Fury. What do you make of KSI?
DT: “I don’t like some of the stuff KSI says. I know I’m not the most clean cut guy, I know I’m very controversial but that was a guy with special needs [in KSI’s tweet]. It didn’t offend me but it just wasn’t a good joke. What Dillon Danis is doing with Logan is just comical but there was nothing funny about what KSI tweeted. I didn’t know anything about him until a year ago, I just think he’s an unfunny guy.”
Q: Masvidal has offered to train Elon Musk, would you train BJJ blue belt Zuckerberg?
DT: “Yeah I would but the only thing with all these YouTube fights… that’s good outside UFC. If you got the offer you’d be stupid to turn it down. You’d be on a trainers fee so it’s all a bit mad. Two of the richest people in the world fighting each other? But if we can get it done in the Colosseum then why not?”
Q: MMA fans would love to see you fight Mike Platinum Perry. Should we be getting our hopes up for that?
DT: “I need to fight now. I’m so ready to fight. I’ve put a lot of time and effort and hard work in. As you can see, my shape has changed considerably this year. I’ve really dedicated myself this year, I really have. I just can’t wait to fight now. Mike Perry, Logan Paul, Dillon Danis, Jake Paul, Nate Diaz. Any f*****g one, any f*****g time. I’m ready. As always they can say you got beat in your last fight or whatever but I’ve always showed up and I’ve always fought, injuries or not. I’m just so ready for it. I’m feeling powerful and big so i probably need to trim up a little bit but I’m good and I’m confident. I just want to get some sparring done and then get in there and just savagely beat someone or savagely get beaten myself! So what!”
