Darren Till

No one has ever done the Echo Arena, and I'm a Scouser. The momentum I've got and the way MMA is growing in the city and the way MMA fans are - Scousers, as individual fans, are just amazing - it doesn't matter who it's against.

The UFC want me as their champion. The welterweight division needs me as its champion. It's been static for too long. I'll win the title, defend it a couple of times, and then move up to middleweight.

Bisping is a clean athlete, and it comes down to whether you're clean or not. I'm totally against the use of drugs and steroids in the UFC and any performance enhancing drugs. Shows a lot about someone's mental state if they have to do that.

Right now, there are some big names out there for me. The likes of Demian Maia, Rafael dos Anjos, Robbie Lawler, and Wonderboy.

I'm in this sport to be the champion. I want to be a great champion and go down in history for it.

I feel like I'm the only fighter who has ever missed weight in UFC, to be honest. Anyone, when we talk about weight now it's Darren Till, Darren Till. I missed weight, and people just need to get off it.

I don't ever want to be inspired by someone else. I want to be inspired by myself.

The advantage I have over every other fighter is my mentality.

It's not a coach relationship: he's a mentor; it's a life relationship. If I didn't make it in fighting, I didn't have anything else to fall back on.

I truly believe deep down that I cannot be beaten. Everything in life can either build you or break you.

Every day you go to the gym, you've got to become a better version of yourself. You've got to never believe you've fully evolved.

Fans, and people in general, look to people to take certain things on, and I'm a guy you can take at face value. I speak my mind.
