In an exclusive interview with Basketball Insiders, UFC fighter Darren Till shares his story on being stabbed and how it changed his life.
I Was Stabbed Outside Liverpool Nightclub, Moments From Death, & Fitness & MMA Training Turned My Life Around
Darren Till said: “I was always in sticky situations! There was a time when I was training at my gym in Liverpool when I was struggling to make money and I was sort of on both sides of the law you could say. It was not a good place to be but I was a terrific fighter and my coach always knew that. I got into a situation in a nightclub where a fight broke out and I got stabbed twice in my ribs. I think the blade was centimetres from a major artery and if it had hit that it would’ve seen me bleeding out and dying. To cut a long story short I remember sitting outside the club and seeing a light. I’m not a big believer in God but in that moment I remember thinking it must be my time to go. But a security guard from the club stuck his fingers in the wound and he brought me back. It was a brutal moment but it changed my life for the better in the long term, as from then I stayed out of trouble and focused on my MMA training. I’ve got a beautiful family now and a house and everything I could wish for really.”
