Darren Till tattoo: Who is the girl on the UFC Liverpool headliner’s left arm?
DARREN TILL’s biggest tattoo has been the subject of gossip amongst mixed martial arts fans for some time.
On the upper portion of his left arm, the Liverpudlian has a tattoo of a blonde woman smiling.
Immediately after seeing his ink, UFC fans began asking themselves the same question: Who is in the woman on his arm?
After his UFC Fight Night 67 bout with Wendell de Oliveira, some jokingly claimed Till’s tattoo was of fan-favourite Paige VanZant.
That suggestion amused Till, who was quick to reveal that the tattoo was of his ex-girlfriend.
“No, it’s not,” Till told MMA Fighting when asked if his tattoo was of VanZant. “It’s my girl.
“It was a surprise for her birthday. I don’t know what I was thinking?
“I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m going to do something different. I’m going to get a tattoo of her face.
“This is my tattoo (he said while lifting up his sleeve). It’s not Paige VanZant. I don’t even know who that is.”
Darren Till: I care about Liverpool’s Champions League clash
It's my girl, it was a surprise for her birthday.
He added: “As I’ve told you about my girl, she’s next to none other. So every time I fight, she fights too.
"And she gets beat up with me, do you know what I mean?
“So if she’s p*****g me off, I just go to the gym and let some guys punch me (laughs).”
Till returns to the Octagon on Sunday night in the main event of UFC Fight Night 130, which sees him take on Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson at the Echo Arena in Liverpool.
