Darren Till says Ben Askren is ‘a wanker’ who’s trying to demean him

nt"

LONDON – Darren Till already has one fight lined up in the octagon, but if it’s up to him, he could have another on the horizon.

Or at the very least, it seems he wants to keep it going on social media.

Till (17-1-1 MMA, 5-1-1 UFC) faces Jorge Masvidal (32-13 MMA, 9-6 UFC) in the main event of UFC on ESPN+ 5, which takes place at The O2 Arena in London on March 16. But that hasn’t stopped the English striker from paying attention to another man in the welterweight division: Ben Askren (18-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC).

Askren makes his UFC debut at March’s UFC 235 event, but he’s already caught Till’s eye. Take a look at Till’s (NSFW) social media history from this past weekend (via Twitter):

Ben… your a wanker

Ben ben ben::: your a fat wanker

At today’s UFC on ESPN+ 5 press conference, Till was asked about Askren, and “The Gorilla” admitted his feelings toward the former ONE Championship and Bellator champion weren’t entirely negative – but not exactly positive either.

“I’m not on Twitter much, but when I go on, I do cause a stir,” Till said. “A lot of people say that I’m drunk, and I’m on drugs when I’m doing it, but I was up at 5 in the morning giving the baby a bottle. So I don’t know, it’s fun for me with Ben because Ben tries to come across on social media as like this clever, intelligent dude – which, listen, I’ve been following Ben for years and years. I remember when I started wrestling in Brazil, my coach, he said, ‘Watch this guy Ben. He’s unbelievable.’ And you know, wrestling, yeah he is. But this is MMA, and his stand-up is absolutely garbage, and he just tries to demean everyone.

“When I call someone out, I’m not trying to demean their skills. That’s what he’s trying to do to me. He’s trying to say, like, I’ve basically got nothing. Yeah, I know I need to evolve. I’ve got a lot of things I want to work on, but don’t discredit what I’m doing. He tries to come across all intelligent, so I just say, basically, ‘Shut up.’ Whatever. I can’t really repeat what I say to him, but you get the gist.

“He’s a wanker.”
