Classless Robert Whittaker happy Darren Till needs surgery

[BluntForceTrama]

Other fighters had complained about those kicks for years now but nothing has been done by the commission

That gif is madness! They really are of the ruthless variety

Ee wuz juss avin a giggle m8

 

[Billthebutcher]

Snowflakes here whining again and just plain idiots. Fighters are always gonna hurt other fighters to win, its the purpose of the game.

 

[muaytao]

Ban head kicks...ronda could have died!!! Think of the children!

 

[wildchild88]

GTFO, he's not happy he needs surgery, he's happy he executed a very damaging strike, he hadn't realised it was a difference maker until the interviewer let him know.

Don't push fake narratives to smear a fighter just because you don't like them.

 

[GoshiShun17]

Bahahahaha Love Rob. He did not blame Yoel one bit for his knee. Till should not be crying aboit his.

Also Rob won fair n square.

Lol at Rob turned heel? But I could have sworn that I've seen Darren use those kicks before.

why is this disgusting technique allowed? but not soccer kick.

better this is not a skill,is dirty.

You can tap and save your joint. No, they should not be banned.

I fought a guy in regional MMA who tried to stomp my knee.

I evaded using footwork. Whittaker’s kick might have been faster etc. but the point is it’s not like the kick has no Defense.

It's a fine argument for the kick.

I still think it's a bad idea to have a movement that can put half of the roster in the medical center.
Fixing a knee from this type of injury takes forever and recovery can change the guy a lot. It robs the sport over a silly but hard to fix injury.

Exactly. And soccer kicks you don't need a layoff of 9months....and the eternal uncertainty if that knee really is reliable.

 

[wildchild88]

Till did the same against Wonderboy, a guy that had a lot of knee problems in the past.

[wookie brawl]

Lol who cares. This isnt pingpong.

 

[TheLegionnary]

A regular low kick can messed up your knee, a punch to the head or ground and pound can mess your brain or provoke concussions, a slam on the head can have the same devastating effect, shall I go on ?

Robert was just joking and people are really really easy to trigger. Till is a cry baby.

 

[Thesnake101]

It's always the same song and dance whenever someone uses that strike, Till faced the same backlash when he used it against Wonderboy in their FOTY, as others have stated.

At the end of the day, most of you guys are being way too sensitive about this.

 

[Oeshon]

It's a fight, who cares

It's no different than a knee bar

The whole point of fighting is to hit someone so hard you know them out, or to to to incapacitate them so they have to submit or have ref stop the fight.

This ain't Olympic judo bois, its human cawkfighting

Honestly, I think Jon Jones is bad for the sport. Because when he fights people, he injures us. He kicked my knee backwards. My knee is never the same. He's done that to a couple other guys. I saw him rip one guy's shoulder out of the socket. We're just trying to do the same thing he's trying to do: earn a living and do the sport that we love.

even Rampage doesn't approve,this kick is very dirty and deserves to be banned.

 

[Wormwood]

He's clearly joking fam. For an Aussie you sure missed out on a sense of humor.

Seriously... seems like all people (and I don't actually mean all) want to do these days is find a reason to bitch and attack others... It's pretty pathetic in my opinion.

 

[NILLI]

They should allow socker kicks and knees to the head. Those were heavily utilized in Pride and those are a big part of real fighting.

 

[GBcrazy]

Till wants them banned now huh?

Thompson complained about Till's use of it after their fight and Till responded.

“I saw the interview did,” Till told MTKGlobal in a recent interview of his own. “If he wants leg kicks banned, why don’t we ban spinning head-kicks to the face while we’re at it?

“I was not trying to hurt his knee. I was trying to deaden his leg to stop him using it. That was my strategy. I know he’s had surgery on his left knee and I was not trying to cause him another injury in that area but this is a fight and we’re in the most brutal sport in the world. In my opinion, you can’t really come out and say you want this thing banned or that thing banned.”
