Darren Till Slams Daniel Cormier as a 'Company Man' Over UFC Bias

Darren Till has unloaded on Daniel Cormier, calling the UFC commentator a “company man” who refuses to speak his real mind on air.

The former UFC middleweight contender didn’t mince words in a recent interview.

He accused Cormier of being biased toward fighters with the last name Magomedov.

Till said he can “see right through” Cormier’s commentary.

“It’s not that I don’t like him,” Till said.

“I just see right through his bulls---.”

“I wouldn’t say it to his face, mind you, because he’s a f------ animal of a fighter, but you can just see through his bulls---.”

The outburst follows criticism from multiple fighters.

Dominick Reyes was the latest to call out Cormier.

Reyes gave Cormier an “F-plus” grade for his commentary at UFC 333.

That event took place on November 9, 2026, in Las Vegas.

Reyes knocked out Azamat Murzakanov in the first round.

After the fight, Reyes said Cormier had been unfair in his analysis.

Till jumped on that criticism and expanded it.

“Any guy who’s got the second name ‘Magomedov,’ he’s just always biased,” Till said.

“He’s just a company man.”

“He doesn’t say what he should really say on his mind.”

Till finished with a blunt message.

“I can smell that bulls--- from over this corner of the world.”

“F--- off with your bulls---, mate.”

“I’ve got no time for that whatsoever.”

This is not the first time Till has gone after Cormier.

In September 2026, Till ripped Cormier for defending Usman Nurmagomedov’s cage jump at UFC Shanghai.

Usman Nurmagomedov jumped the cage after a win, which is against UFC rules.

Cormier did not criticize the move on air.

Till saw that as proof of bias.

Cormier has faced other recent backlash.

Sean O’Malley and his coach Tim Welch took issue with Cormier pushing for a Song Yadong title shot.

O’Malley and Welch later cleared the air with Cormier, but the tension was real.

Cormier is a former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion.

He transitioned to broadcasting after retiring in 2020.

He is widely considered one of the best analysts in the sport.

But his close ties to American Kickboxing Academy and several top fighters have led to accusations of favoritism.

Till, meanwhile, is no longer with the UFC.

He now fights in BKFC, the bare-knuckle boxing promotion.

Till has two wins in BKFC so far.

He was recently in talks to fight Jake Paul on Christmas Eve 2026.

That fight fell through when Paul chose to face Cedric Doumbe in a boxing match instead.

BKFC president David Feldman said the promotion has “big names” lined up for Till.

“We’re going to have some big names for Darren Till in the mix very, very shortly,” Feldman told MMA Fighting.

Feldman said one of those names will be part of an announcement in the next two weeks.

Till signed a three-fight deal with BKFC initially.

But Feldman said they have options on Till’s next few fights.

“There is going to be a longer relationship with BKFC and Darren Till,” Feldman said.

Till is still training and staying active.

He has not fought since his last BKFC win.

But his mouth has not been quiet.

The Cormier feud is the latest example of Till speaking his mind.

It raises a bigger question about commentary bias in MMA.

Fighters and fans have long debated whether former champions can be impartial on the mic.

Cormier has not responded publicly to Till’s latest comments.

There is no indication that Cormier plans to address them.

But the criticism is piling up from multiple corners of the sport.

Reyes, O’Malley, Welch, and now Till have all taken shots.

Each has a different grievance.

Reyes felt Cormier downplayed his win.

O’Malley and Welch thought Cormier pushed an agenda for Song Yadong.

Till believes Cormier protects fighters from his own camp and background.

The common thread is a belief that Cormier lets relationships affect his analysis.

Till put it in the simplest terms.

“He’s just a company man.”

That phrase has stuck.

It implies Cormier is more loyal to the UFC and his inner circle than to honest commentary.

Whether that is fair is up for debate.

But the accusation has been made, and it is not going away.

Till’s history with Cormier adds weight to the charge.

They have never fought, but they have traded words before.

Till seems to enjoy poking at Cormier.

And Cormier, so far, has not taken the bait.

That may be the smart play.

Engaging with Till would only amplify the criticism.

But silence also allows the narrative to grow.

In the world of MMA, where every fighter has a microphone, the commentary booth is under more scrutiny than ever.

Cormier is one of the most recognizable voices in the sport.

That makes him a target.
