Liverpudlian striking ace, Darren 'The Gorilla' Till has already made a huge impact on the ranks at 185-pounds, despite only joining the his peers at middleweight, two-weeks ago. The Muay Thai practitioner returned to the win column at UFC 244 via a unanimous decision win over Kelvin Gastelum, and the #5 ranked contender, has his eyes firmly set on a matchup with former division best, Robert 'The Reaper' Whittaker.

Till, who challenged Tyron Woodley unsuccessfully for the welterweight championship last year, was then finished by Jorge Masvidal in London earlier this year, has his sights fixed on a title siege a division higher. Taking to his official Twitter account on Thursday evening, Till, who has already challenged Cuban freestyle-wrestler, Yoel Romero to a meeting, issued a come and get it plea to former champion Whittaker. @darrentill2 - "Let's fight at @UFC London then @robwhittakermma? #YouAreNotReady"

Three hours after the initial offering, Till returned after posting two GIFs relating to perennial middleweight contender Romero. The promotion are expected to return to London in the opening quarter of next year, with Till eager to feature in the headlining spot once more, or even sooner if Whittaker can accomodate. @darrentill2 - "I'm ready to fight now to be honest. F**k injuries, f**k time off, f**k it all. When are you ready @robwhittakermma? Need to know basis..."

Australian technician Whittaker, suffered his first defeat at middleweight at UFC 243 recently, as he dropped the middleweight championship to Israel 'The Last Stylebender' via a second round knockout. Adesanya has spoke of his intentions to face the previously mentioned Romero in his first title defence, as the middleweight division continues to heat up, particularly with the rise of Jared 'The Killa Gorilla' Cannonier and now, the addition of Till.
