Darren Till and Uriah Hall appear to be circling each other after both men lost their last fight. Till actually found himself quite surprised when Hall called him out for his next UFC fight.

The English UFC middleweight has been focusing on his comeback and is currently in Sweden training with Khamzat Chimaev. Darren Till was completely surprised when Uriah Hall called him out.

“He’s just come out of nowhere. He’s just like coming for me,” Till told ESPN. “Uriah, I don’t know. He’s… I can’t even put into words. He’s not making any sense. He’s saying I’ve blocked him on Instagram, that I’m running from a fight with him, and he doesn’t know I’m injured or whatever. Yeah, Uriah. I was injured, I didn’t block you on Instagram, my Instagram got deleted. No, I’m not running from ya. When I moved up to middleweight, I personally phoned Dana White and asked him for the hardest fight after the champ at the time, which was Kelvin Gastelum. So no, my friend. I am not running from you.”

Darren Till finds the idea that he blocked him on Instagram funny and he doesn't understand why that creates beef. The UFC middleweight doesn't mind a trash talk as long as it makes sense.

“I’m not annoyed, I’m baffled by it because I’m like where’s this coming from?” Till continued. “[Hall’s] just talking — like when me and Marvin were scheduled to fight, he was talking mad crazy trash. Like he’s gonna break me and sh*t. But I enjoyed that because I see Marvin as a guy who trains hard, he believes in himself, he’s emotional. He wants to be the best. How can I discredit a guy whose put his whole life into it? That was nice.

“Uriah’s just like, ‘You blocked me on Instagram.’ What the f*ck’s that got to do with anything? (laughs) Okay, so I’m scared of you and I’m blocking you on Instagram. Okay, good for you. If we’re gonna fight, we’re gonna fight. I’m not scared.”
