Darren Till has been released by the UFC after eight years with the MMA promotion company.

Till joined the UFC back in 2015 but has lost his last three fights, leading the Liverpudlian to ask to be released from his contract.

Till's last defeat came at UFC 282 at the hands of Dricus du Plessis in round three in December, adding to losses against Robert Whittaker and Derek Brunson.

Dana White says that Darren Till's stock is still high in the UFC despite his loss at UFC 282 against Dricus du Plessis

In a statement put out on Twitter, Till said: "What's happening everyone, Me, Dana (White) & Hunter (Campbell) are still cool as f***.

"I asked UFC 2 remove me just 2 sort some other s*** for the foreseeable.
