Based on their most recent Twitter conversation, Ariel Helwani and Darren Till’s relationship appears to have become worse. Ariel Helwani and Darren Till have engaged in several humorous online encounters in recent years, mostly because they both have engaging personalities in the mixed martial arts community. Till has an exciting personality that fans like, whether he wins or loses. As we all know, Helwani is the most well-known journalist in the sport.

We’ll choose to believe that they’re just having a bit of fun for now but either way, Darren Till will get the chance to silence Ariel – as well as many of his other doubters – when he returns to the Octagon on July 23 at UFC London. In his first fight since being beaten by Derek Brunson, we’ll see ‘The Gorilla’ continue his quest for middleweight gold when he meets Jack Hermansson. It’s the kind of bout that will prove difficult for the Liverpudlian given the submission prowess of his opponent, but after months of training with Khamzat Chimaev who knows Hermansson quite well, you’d have to imagine we’re going to see the best version of the 29-year-old yet in the UFC.
