Leon Edwards is a must. WW champion of the world. Must go. Also, cut all champions and start fresh, I say.

Looks like he'll be Khamzat's full time punching bad and comanager.

Only 3 belts shy of his goal of 3 weight champ. In all seriousness one of the most overrated fighters of the past decade.

Always ranked for some reason...

He probably priced himself out.i imagine they were going to lower his pay(understandable) and he said no.i cant think of anwhere that he could be a contender for a title outside of one fc.i think he gets beat by the top guys in bellator and pfl doesn't have a middleweight division.He is in a weird position that he needs a bump down in competition but probably wasn't willing to take the pay cut.

PFL as a LHW.

Yeah, he was always a bit over-hyped though to be fair I think his performance against Whittaker was pretty underrated to be honest. Maybe Robert was gun-shy after being KO'd by Izzy, but even then Till more than held his own and made that fight razor-thin -- which is more than Cannonier or Vettori can say. I firmly believe that the guy who stepped into the cage against Rob probably finishes Dricus or Brunson more often than not. But what matters is what you bring to the cage and in Till's case whatever promise he had disappeared as he turned into an unmotivated, injury-prone mess.

I think he just matched up well against Whittaker. Till still loses to the guys thay beat him.

Till does well in a tactical kickboxing match, hence his success against Wonderboy, Whittaker, Gastelum, Cowboy.

He had the height and reach to do well in those matchups against guys who weren't going to grapple or really brawl him.
 
He was way overhyped and achieved little. He beat Cowboy and had close split decisions with Wonderboy and Gastelum.. every other fight he lost, including a title fight where he, as a striker, landed 0 strikes on a washed up Woodley.

All this goes to show is how powerful the UFC propaganda machine is, they can convince fans that a guy with one win in 6 years is a worldbeater who “fell off”—Till was never on, they just wanted him to be the new Conor so they overhyped him, a similar experiment is underway now with Paddy.

Probably asked to be removed so he can be a full time Chimaev gf. He’s terrible at fighting.

Which is it : he's the next champ or terrible at fighting ? you guys change opinions like the wind.
No wonder the most successful fighters are delusional you cant let the critics or "specialists" dictate what you can or cant do they usually dont know shit

Good, let him get his confidence back in the minor leagues and then join PFL or Bellator to finish up his career.

Honestly I don't think he could win a PFL title at this point. He might get a title shot in Bellator with one or two wins, but even that would be very tough.
 
he was good, but just not good enough. not everyone can be a champion. some guys are just average.
