Media Darren till was a real threat to dricus style.

[Lord Pyjamas]

Till was legitimately a very good fighter. He should have been an elite fighter, but he had a bad brain.
Off topic but I feel the same about Jones. Imagine if Jones wasn't a piece of shit and had his life together the last 15 years. There wouldn't be a goat debate.

Jones brain just let out farts. It was always built for kills without forcing it.
Till had talent and could have been shaped into greatness.
But Jones is a primal beast for it!

Till was basically on the defense the entire fight against DDP. He didn't really do much.

Jones fight IQ is some of the best ever, I'd put gsp #1 there. Jones has lost what, 4 to 6 years of his career just by being low IQ outside of the ring?
There's not any contender that stood a good chance against him on any of his time away, and he also likely did not need steroids to be great. But these things ruined his legacy, because he's a brain retard.

A bit like Alexander the great!
Also a drunk fucking ass hat but man could he fight!
Most of us just do not have it in us like that.
And I am glad it does not turn him into a king!

One is a UFC champion and the other is looking shitty in shady boxing matches vs bum online influencers

 

[RockyLockridge]

Till is way more overrated his ONLY decent wins in entire career - TKO of lightweight Cerrone, hometown robbery over Wonderboy in fight where he missed weight, and boring 50/50 decision over Gastelum. He was so hyped going into the Woodley fight I’ll never understand it.

Be reasonable, he had a competitive fight with Whittaker as well. Arguably won. He is patently a way better fighter than askren against high level guys still has moments. Got ko'd by masvidal, but did have moments against him and knocked him down himself.

Darren Till is a threat to a box of Krispy Kreme donuts...

 

[mkt]

Till also tuned Whittaker up and won the fight IMO, but it is what it is

He was a hot and cold fighter for sure. Many thought Wonderboy deserved the decision, but he had a close 5-round fight with prime or near prime Wonderboy, too...even if it looked more like a hybrid karate/MT point fight than MMA most of the time.

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

ddp had limited oxygen according to him iirc

Yes

 

[fortheo]

DDP 10-8'ed him in round 1, took off round 2, switched to southpaw and started outlanding him in round 3, and then choked him out. Till had some moments, but in the context of the whole fight, that boy got whooped.

Askren says hello

Askren beat a lot of good fighters in Bellator. Also he might have lost to Maia but he was of the few fighters to willingly grapple with Damien and if my memory serves me correctly the only person to pass his guard in mma.

[FreddieRoachsVoice]

The only thing Till is a threat to is a case of beer... and anyone he encounters while behind the wheel

 

[tasticles]

Askren was hyped as the guy who could beat GSP and he was arguably not even UFC calibre.

Ben is genuinely a top notch wrestler and haters look for any hope to put into someone to bet against. As insane as the idea is, some thought his wrestling would be better like koscek

His ascension is something to study… give problems to Whittaker and ddp but got ruined by masvidal and woodley. I believe 170 lbs wasn’t for him

 

[checktheknuckles]

How did Till give DDP problems? BY being a punching bag?

 

[orca]

ddp mauled him
dont know if thats really a threat

 

[Luthien]

DDP wore out his hands punching Till, a real threat

 

[Tornikidou]

I really thought Till was gonna win after surviving the first round mauling, the momentum shifted like crazy in r2.

I wasn't familiar with Dricus 'call an ambulance, but not for me' style at the time tho.

 

[Robbocop]

Darren Till did have an unusually fast fall from title contender, for a young guy
