Darren Till has made his Christmas wish.
The newest addition to the UFC middleweight division has hit the top of the rankings with his win over former interim middleweight title challenger Kelvin Gastelum last month, and already he has his sights set on the champion.
Till slid into UFC 185-pound champ Israel Adesanya’s DMs, wishing him a Merry Christmas and asking him to hand over his belt.
Adesanya, who’s always had respect and a bit of banter with Till, responded with his patented GIFs, telling him to bring it on.
Nothing wrong with hoping for a Christmas miracle, right?
Till likely would need a win or two more to get a crack at the title, whereas Adesanya’s first title defense could come against Yoel Romero on March 7 at UFC 248.
