Darren Till can be WW champion if the UFC give him about 2 more years to build up, and here is why.

[MMAart]

You've added a year onto everyone's age.

I have added 2 years, actually. That's their age in 2 years from now.

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

didn't realise Usman and Pozinibio where in their early 30's

Usman got dem Cormier and Yoel genetics with dat wrestling base tho, so I fully expect him to mop the floor with every WW for sometime to come. I think Till and Perry would be 'more fun' champs but Usman is like Tyrone 2.0 and makes very good fighters look amateur.

Good bump spot on. Till champ 2018.

Not sure if he's ready in 2018, but perhaps by the end of 2018 or early 2019.

It could happen, but he has to get over puberty first.

NM, I can't read.

 

[closequarters]

4 tough fights to a title shot seems reasonable. But he could get through 4 fights in a little over year.

Darren Till can (potentially) be WW champion if the UFC give him about 2 more years to build up. The reason is simple: Till has age and time on his side, and in 2 years, he will be at his peak, in addition to the extra time to work on his wrestling (his biggest weakness).

In 2 years, all the current top 10-15 WW will be out of their primes.

Age in 2 years from now:


Till
Age: 26

vs.


Woodley
Age: 37

Lawler
Age: 37

Thompson
Age: 36

Maia
Age: 41

Masvidal
Age: 34

Rafael Dos Anjos
Age: 34

Cerrone
Age: 36

Condit
Age: 35

Covington
Age: 31

Ponzinibio
Age: 33

Magny
Age: 32

Usman
Age: 32

Nelson
Age: 31

Kim
Age: 37

Oliveira
Age: 31

Perry
Age: 27

Perry is the only guy that will still be in his physical prime 2 years from now. However, Perry's skill level, as it is currently, seems to be way below compared to the rest of the WW division. I personally don't see him being a threat to the WW title.​

​

Questions:

1. Do you think Till will have more chance of becoming champion if he waits about 2 more years?

2. Do you think the UFC / Dana White will be patient and build Till up, or will they rush him to the Title shot?

You thinking someone in their early 30's is out of their prime is a good example of why you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet

It's what I learned in college.

In addition, from my own experience after turning 30, my body just changed over night, as if a switch was turned on (or off, depending on how you look at it). I started to gain fat around my abs despite me being a very lean guy all my life.

Furthermore, I noticed that my body took much longer to recover from training or after being inactive. I couldn't train for more than 4 day straights without having to take a day or two off, whereas before, I could train for 6 or 7 days without a problem.

I was more prone to getting injured, too.

Why are u guys hyping him up is it because of an accent don't forget conor was skillful at press conference till is just gonna say he is confident

 

[MMAart]

Looks like the UFC is pushing for Till to become champ this year. WME needs another star from the British Isles.

 

[ANIM4L]

Hopefully Woodley hasnt had enough of a drop off physically that he loses to Till. The deck is stacked against TWood in more ways than one, UFC seems to want Till and the demographic he brings.

As a fan, I hope Woodley is still in great shape, so we can see an all out war. You're right that the deck is stacked against Woodley. Till is younger, bigger, and more reach. Can't wait for this fight. If Till wins, he's going to be Conor 2.0

Deck is stacked against Till, there's no evidence to suggest he has the ability to survive wrestling with the best of the division. Even if he beats Tyrone he has to face Colby and Usman next. Dana has worked very hard to protect Till from fighting Usman for good reasons. If Till loses, he's going to be Maia or even Ngannou 2.0 and could find himself in a losing streak. The Stipe vs DC fight showed the size is not necessarily an advantage and the smaller fighter has tools to frustrate the bigger fighter.
