UFC middleweight Darren Till
was arrested in Stockholm on charges of drunk driving last month,
according to Swedish news outlet
Expressen.

Till was pulled over on July 31 while driving at high speeds behind
the wheel of a silver Audi with English plates. According to
police, Till was “noticeably drunk.” The fighter admitted to having
“one to two beers” at a restaurant but initially claimed that the
woman he was with was driving the vehicle. Till later admitted to
driving while intoxicated and according to a police report said the
incident would ruin his career.
The Liverpool native ultimately submitted to a breath test for
alcohol, which came back three times above the legal limit and
accepted a penalty order, the terms of which are currently
unknown.
Till has visited Sweden on multiple occasions recently to work out
at Allstars Training Center alongside friend and UFC welterweight
contender Khamzat
Chimaev. He was slated to make his first appearance of 2022
against Jack
Hermansson on July 23 but was forced to withdraw from the bout
due to injury. “The Gorilla” began his UFC tenure with a 5-0-1 mark
but has since lost four of his last five Octagon appearances.
