never underestimate tills ability to disappoint 💯
Never overestimate your ability to be a casual 🤡 💯
U clearly don’t realize ima till fan , ur casual
@@marvinponce4715 u clearly don't realize that no one cares, including me.
Yet here you are replying, you no life
@@leflopjames5628then stop complaining
The worst thing to ever happen to Till was that gift decision against Wonderboy. It also screwed the fans of a great trilogy.
They probably expected him to beat Woodley which would've garnered more interest from the UK and then Masvidal would've shocked the world with the knockout.
@@mathieubenoitmarcellus That was the same thing I thought about the Wonderboy fight. If he had lost when he was younger and still hungry he might have worked harder to improve his game. But the UFC really wanted a champ in that UK market, so they pushed him to a title shot before he could stop a takedown. You would at least think he would throw more uppercut’s and knee’s to make people think twice about it.
That’s ridiculous 😅 the worst thing he did was go up to MW clearly
All the above comments are ridiculous. He's physically and mentally shot. Period. If he was a horse he'd be off to the jam factory.
@@alistairborthwick2031indeed , pure cope. Dude is washed
A major weakness for Till has always been his low output. He stands there for minutes barely throwing anything and letting the other guy do whatever he pleases.
He seems broken... the past few years it's like he isn't going in confident, which must be a nightmare.
He throws plenty of punches lol you have no idea what you’re talking about clearly, his problem is the grappling and lacking the physical strength to fend off the stronger MW.
Dricus always du whatever he plessis
@@Hitmaster8🤣🤣🤣
He also throws very little variety of punches and strikes. A jab, a straight left and sometimes an uppercut. He barely uses his right hand to throw it over the guard, and a few leg kicks. He's a good example of a fighter that's too onedimensional and can't find ways to win fights because his arsenal isn't extensive enough.
Du Plesis was backing up with a high guard, and that was enough to make Till miss most of his straight lefts, which is the only powerful strike he throws. He tried a couple of uppercuts... and that's about it. And when he was the one going forward he was getting countered too. He doesn't seem to be improving at all over the years.
despite ongoing wrestling woes i think darren's striking looked a lot better here than his last few fights. lots of 1-2s as usual, but he was also throwing elbows, both knees, etc
genius move by Darren standing there and just being a punching bag for the whole round to demoralize Du Plessis
Look how it played out for him too
and then lose.......
Till was trying to tire Du Plessis arms out by letting him punch him a lot.
@ar1anx1x lol good call dom cruise

@@tclyde865it’s crazy how Till was kicked out the UFC first
actually it was mainly the damage whittaker did to his knees. Ever since then he has fucked his knee in every fight thats why he cant defend takedowns

@@Ssonelol AAAAAAAAAAAND STIIIIIIIIIL
Fact😊
Seems likely but never count someone out in this sport.
it seems like it was DuPlessis the one training with Chimaev all this time
😂
Props to the Ref for not ending it in that first round and letting Till continue. You never know what could happen in this sport, so if the fighters say their good let them at it.
props to the ref? He shouldn't have kept warning him in the first place. Till was fine.
You’re right except for that last sentence. Sometimes punch drunk fighters think they’re still good after getting finished.
Sometimes fighters need to be saved from themselves tho
Fighters will say their good to continue, but then end up with traumatic brain injuries later. Refs have a rep of not doing things right, but it saves people in the long run
@@emilioherrera9653 CTE doesn't come from big concussions but overwhelmingly so from persistent small ones. Early stoppages do not do as much as people think to mitigate that, and coupled with turning a potential crucial win into a defeat, a lot of fighters will stay trapped in a career dead end while subjecting themselves to the same level of damage while seeing less profits for it. Early stoppages are great when they're justified, but not every time a fighter is in a bad position or wobbled does it justify one.
Man till looked good when he got his hands going. His down slide seems almost all mental after his losing streak, but we see here he still has that crisp striking ability but something is blocking him from going back to that confident sharp striker he was before his KO loss
He started playing poker. That’s it
this fight was much better than i remembered it
I thought the same but the other way around
@@ihatejulianlemmiong
@@ihatejulianlemmisame i thought till got subbed super early in Rd 2. Was actually a decent scrap
DDP applying the famous rugby tackle. That is what I don’t see in UFC much but it’s super effective. Rugby tackles should be used more often. DDP doing a very good job utilising that. Well done DDP. Can’t wait to see the DDP vs Izzy fight. Please make this fight happen before end of October so I can sneak out to watch the fight during my leave from work.
The move is basically a blast double in a wrestling context. It only works if you can get rly deep on the opponent or catch them in a weird position. Otherwise, it's easy to defend and you have to chain wrestle to get the TK just like every other MMA wrestler does
Till had a lot of potential at one time. Hope he can make a comeback
Picking Whittaker but I want to point out that Dricus consistently pulls wins out of the fire. He's got heart, and when someone is a huge underdog, that's the number one factor that leads to upsets.
Yeah rob is just an overall better figjter in every aspect and DU is amateurish in his stand up.
@@fofao681 ut he has raw crazy power
@@fofao681😂😂😂😂 say what?
@@aryanras c'mon we all thought So .
@@fofao681DU made rob look like the Amateur 😂
Seeing how Dricus destroyed Rob, Darren honestly didn't do too bad here
he didn't do too bad if you exclude the 1st round and the finish. The finish was truly horrific, Till actually helped Dricus into mount, made no attempt to escape out the back door, rolled over and gave up real quick before Dricus could even get under the chin.
That slide to full mount tho 😮
Gotta give Darren props for roughing it out tho. Their sportsmanship was cool to see too
Once you’ve lifted one of tills legs you have lifted 45% of his entire weight
Thus easy take downs
Good comment..!😂
Explain please ?
Til has heavy legs
@@bobdole7292his TD defense wasn't good
his soft body
Damn Till had very brief moments where you could see his striking ability, really wish he could have figured out the TDD
You're right he did. Maybe with a different coach he'd have worked something out. Oh well.
Let’s not forget Till had two shot knees during this fight, they’re still not right which is why he’s staying away from MMA competition. Sad to see
Till had so much potential. It’s really sad to see him cut
Yeah, a Kevin Lee kinda potential lol.
NEVER had potential. NEVER. He was always just a size and weight bully, once he got too fat for welterweight his one trick was over.
@@Narcan885u telling me the man who went to war with whittaker on one leg has no potential, ur just a hater
i think he resigned on his own, probably to heal his leg with doping. And will get added back to the roster in a year or so
What potential? He’s not even a well-rounded striker, let alone a well-rounded mixed martial artist
Du Plessis is undefeated in UFC. Great run and fantastic fighter
A bit boring to watch though I won't be watching him again.
@@mistywoo2still not watching him?
@@mistywoo2 Stop lying lol
@@mistywoo295% finish rate, 4 performance bonuses in the UFC. Not boring.
Till needs to to get his head up and have the courage to come back. Good fighter he is, but it looked like he didn’t want to be there this fight.
Darren best attribute was his confidence he has no more confidence. He knows he isn’t the best or isn’t beating anybody elite
Calm down Yoda
Idk how this dude has been around Khamzat for so long, spent a long enough time in Brazil to have a kid over there and his grappling STILL fckin sucked. He looked worse. its like Till learned nothing
He's done
Till's been washed up for years. Never was a good fighter at all imo
Wow DuPlessis grappling is underrated
He’s won most of his fights by submission people don’t realize that too
Yeah his grappling is elite he even held Whittaker down.
Proud of Till for doing some real GnP out there against a guy so aggressive. Is good that he was woking in the match even tho it was hard
This was like a throwback to the good old days of "striker vs grappler," where both came from completely different combat backgrounds, and neither knew anything about the other's specialty.
They are both kickboxers...?
@@calvindevries Hmmm, DuPlessis looked like he'd never thrown a strike before the bell rang, but was a monster with the takedowns and ground and pound. Till was the opposite...
@@gainesp2003gainesp sure buddy, bc you are deffo a combat sports expert
@@calvindevries Did you happen to see the fight?
@@gainesp2003gainesp did you happen to see any duplessis fight besides this one? did you know he was a kickboxing wc? or that he has been champ in smaller promotions? do you know what his striking style is like? do you know why bobby knuckles is taking him so seriously? casual. you're still a kid, come back when u have done research and have real life and mma experience.
Crazy how Darren till lasted longer than whittaker when faced with ddp
Till's counter timing reminds me of mahcida's even tho machida is grand master level , and those till counter elbows are the best ive seen in the ufc.
creylion till had some beautiful intercepting elbows this fight
Quickly became a fan of Driscus during his ufc debut, and every fight after. Man is headhunting. Damn shame about Darren, though. Couldn't figure out the sauce. Some people just ain't built for this shit.
Super sad to re-watch the end of Till.
The mind plays range games! Hope he can be back at fighting and do well.
Highly entertaining fight, both of these guys gave it 100. Shoutout to them both
Till actually didn’t do as badly as I remember rewatching this
And DuPlessis was not as good as I remembered. I think Sean will be the favorite.
Strickland will beat Du p because he is a cardio machine and he will overwhelm him with volume
@@jvm-tv2 minutes straight hammering till with ease against the cage is easy right 😂
This is before he got his nose fixed. @@jvm-tv
@@kairau1519 yet he still made it to the third round....... not that impressive 😂
Beautiful counter elbows, and in general slick striking from till, it’s a shame how easy he welcomed the takedowns and the lack of output / mixing up at times has affected this performance as well
Dupleiss has a strong upper body.. And Till, well has poor takedown prevention technique
@@markomo5424no he just had a messed up knee…
@@markomo5424I believe Till had an injured knee, which would obviously make it hard for him to defend. Either way he should just take time off to repair his body.
@@FrozzyB That explains it, because usually there's a couple attempts and a bit of a grappling battle before a takedown, in this fight though, DuPlessis just got the takedown every time with no resistance.
Its not even live and I still found myself rooting for Till and getting disappointed he couldnt stop the takedowns lol
What it do... bed time crew
That’s true sportsmanship… And of round 1 Du helps his opponent off the ground.
DuPlessis is the first guy in the ufc that I can say sucks but is good lol. Idk how to explain it. man fights like a new guy joined a gym but some how gets it done.
He's a weird fighter
It’s crazy to think how close Till was to beating Rob
Styles make fights. Then again Rob's confidence was also shattered somewhat after Izzy knocked him out.
makes you wonder just how good is DDP
@@SirPraiseSunwell ddp just beat rob so hes pretty good.
Close? It was a great fight but at no point was Till in command
@@Garrett1240 I’m talking more about the elbow in the first but it was also Till best performance at Middleweight against one of the best so I think it matters considering DDP didn’t do anything special in this fight to beat Till.
I think that last take down stunned Till bad. That was basically a slam.
DDP is curious, he is slow and awkward but he's a kind of bulldozer, he'll happily eat a shot to land one of his sledge hammer hands and it works for him. I honestly think if he gets the fight with izzy he'll make light work of him
*Till could have won this fight. If he smacked the body with kicks and maintained distance.* Till needs to be more aggressive.
exactly ...... from the southpaw position the body was open I don't know why till didn't take it......he had a couple good liver shot open in this fight, he coulda capitalized on it
Hard to do that against a gritty grappler like Dricus, especially when Till has such lousy grappling. It's a shame, but he can grapple himself out of a wet paper bag if he's on his back or someone decent has their hands around his legs
@@BernardoWLopes The body was open all day especially when Dricus was exhausted. Feint high with the jab and smack the body.
Casuals always think they're Joe Rogan in the UA-cam comments. Have another doughnut as you lean back in that armchair.
@@zippo_muk9254 Kicking against good grappler is not as easy as you think it is .
The amount of heavy punches Darren Til took throughout the first round. Is the type of sequence that takes years of a man's career. Props to Darren for coming back with his own firepower. I'll never question that man's resolve and heart..Ever!
That take down at the end Wow Darren was tired at .True warriors fought till the end
Dricus Du Plessis is a warrior.
Esta pelea fue mejor de lo que recuerdo ahora veo porque se llevó el bonus de pelea de la noche
100% 😂
Khamzat watchin Till's ground game and shakin his head 😆
I haven't seen this fight for a long time. Darren did a lot better than i remembered! And DuPlessis was definitely tired. Nothing to do with noise problems. His whole body was struggling!
I mean there's loads of noise, that's without dispute. 😊
@@HandsomeBastardhe meant *nose 👃
I never watched this fight till now I think Sean takes the win ddp is good but I think too wild while Sean will walk him down
I cant tell if till is being patient or he is just stunned by the ass whipping he was getting.
When you consider where both guys career has gone since this. You’d say Till should be fairly proud of his performance here.
😂 fairly fairly
dayum what a fight, this has everything. I enjoyed this
I said the same thing..
Du Plessis, Charles, Topuria, when those guys step in the octagon there won’t be a dull moment 👏

If Till puts it together he's still the most dangerous MW in the UFC.
I enjoyed this fight, I didn't get the chance to watch it live. Good fight.
Worst take down defense in the history of the UFC and has literally no idea about ground fighting not to mention terrible defense on the feet.... amazing he got this far, speaks volumes about his offensive striking

@@stefanparkes4675 Yeaa his takedown defence is bad but has very nice striking and very good defence duplessis saved by his wrestling so much so why do you want to make Darren so bad? 🤷
DDP can overwhelm Shawn Strickland in the first 2 rounds. However, in the latter rounds Shawn can definitely finish him imo.
Till can take a hit I’ll say that around the 3:02 mark, he’s able to talk to the ref, and take these bombs from DDP to the back of the ear and the side face, while still keeping somewhat of a base, insane.
He Boer-Dozered Till that first round. Well done boykie!

OK kikebot.
@@bakslayer3032 wait whittaker is a jew?
@@ronmka8931I thought he was half japanese half Australian
Call the ambulance 🚑 already
unfortunate
It's crazy but to me Till always looked like a massive welterweight but he looks like a pretty small middleweight
Till is a natural MW; DDP is a massive MW. Till walked around a little north of 200lbs in between camps at WW and had horrible weight cuts. DDP is probably walking around @ 220 or so himself in between camps, like Paulo Costa. I think Till and DDP are both around 6'1 but you can see who's natural for the weight class and who's cutting massive amounts of weight.
Till had a great second round hope he figures it out seems to be more of mental thing with him hopefully the ufc doesn’t give up on him
It's rare to have such a one sided fight where both fighters stocks go down..
*The last take down against Till was wild!*
Man that fight was carnage. I am probably one of the few that still thinks Till is a bit better than he has shown and DDP winning this with no nose and after gassing hard is impressive. And who can possibly dislike DDP as a fighter? Every fight is bananas.
Видно что Тилл лучше чем оппонент в плане ударки,плохо что Хамзат его бороться не научил и защите от тейкдаунов.
в 3м раунде Тилл много пропустил в стойке
Till has never been the same since masvidal starched him
Man this was sad. I love till and as dramatically as he was almost stopped in the first he was closer to finishing the fight in the second.

Love till hope he gets in shape and comes back
Heck of a fight, good competitors. sportsmanship.
Darren's lack of grappling ability lost him this match, it even afforded him the proverbial 10-8 round.
Mf is the most disappointing fighter
Till's lack of training is what lost him the fight. There were so many times in the second round that a trained and strong Darren Till would have sniped him.
Spent all that time with Chimeav and his camp and his wrestling arguably got worse.
@@samuraichilton what the f are you even smoking dude? since then does darren change his training status mid fight? darren till wouldnt have sniped him because Duplessis was smashing him on the ground you fookin smooth brain

Till is such a good striker, I hope he comes back healthy after a few years off, you can see how his bad knees really limit his grappling
his striking isn’t that amazing . all he does is set up and throw the left . nothing dynamic or creative
@@dukenukem7043 ok there Sensei 🙄🙄🙄
@@cosmo3665hes right tho
@@dukenukem7043hat’s exactly why his striking is good. It’s clearly a talent. You’re not wrong, all he has is a left, but he still lands it over and over. He has an incredible sense of timing, distance management and accuracy, with that left. He freezes people with his feints too, but unfortunately that’s not enough. He needed to utilise more kicks and his grappling is non existent
McRousey casuals STILL think this is good striking? 😂
To be honest, Dricus fights way better when he's gassed. It's strange, but it makes him more measured, and his strikes become more accurate. Compare that to when the fight first starts; he overextends on every strike and throws everything with intent to kill which leads to him whiffing a lot.
I'm gunna go out on biggest limb ever and say he's taking steroid and has no boxing or even good wrestling tbh.... I'm not gunna lose my imaginary job at UFC and not gunna go court for slander so I'll just say it now...
What you think the chances are? Look how he just bounced off the cage, tired and nearly knocked the arena over, as well as Till, pretty much by accident
@TheTyroofToriyama huh?
@@bryanadkins2944when he fought Whittaker it looked like two big strong guys, one of which was still on a cycle. Idk what pharmaceuticals the Chinese, south Africans, and Russians have access to that the rest of the world doesn't yet but I assume it has something to do with drugs targeted to the specific person's genome. Obviously all of our fighters are on steroids as well, but they have to cycle off of most things like a month before testing.
@monarch1651 you're pulling everything you just said out of your ass. Where's your proof? The US leads the world in research pharmaceuticals. If there's anybody that would be coming out with human genome modification PEDs it would be the US. The closest thing we have is myostatin inhibitors and they're complete bullshit
@monarch1651 maybe he's just in an area where USADA can't visit unless there's alot of notice? Look at Paulo Costa, the dude showed a whole supplement closet, and then "special supplements" made by a chemist in Brazil. He might as well of said "These are steriods USADA can't test for". Costa has also been suspended for using Stomach meds that are banned because they can mask the tests.
Till just doesn't throw kicks like he use to. When he first started, that was the one thing people were so scared of, then he'd catch ya with that big left he has...he is just nervous. When being knocked out for the first time, some just never come back and end up being to hesitant. Jose Aldo is a great example. Never the same after Connor.
Till has such good moments but he always comes short lately
Yeah lately, like the last 5 years
Sure, 1 second of great moments every 2.5 fights
This comment sounds like my sex life
His striking looked really crisp in the second round landed some great counters especially that knee to the body and a couple great step in elbows from range , timing was great just can’t defend a single takedown 😂 a lot of those takedowns in the 2nd were desperation shots on Till and they still almost all landed
1st round was a 10-7 round. that was complete, perfect domination.
If DuPlessis was in there with a good striker that actually wrestled he would've got worked.
Well he’s facing Whittaker soon so we’ll see soon enough how he fares against a well rounded guy he was getting pieced up by till in this fight so I’d say he’s not going to do well against Whittaker
Love the sportsmanship!
I see the reason till retire after this fight 🤦🏽♂️
I think Till is done. He knows it. We know it.
Loved the sportsmanship. This is sadly being replaced with hatred in other sports.
crazy thing is he didn’t even lose air in the chokehold (obviously from how fast he taped out) dricus squeezed his jaw & chin so tight that he had to tap. Pure strength
I’ve never seen Till win a fight.
A lot of new fans and casuals haven’t yeah.
Esta pelea me dio coraje, que la verdad no le iba a ninguno de los dos pero Du Plessis le puso una putisa a Till y este ni siquiera se defendía bien.
Till debió de ganar esa pelea incluso por ko si hubiera soltado más y no siquiera aprendió nada de lucha de chimaev

Amazing no one lost this fight both warriors
As a proud SA supporter of DP. I got to say, he's going to need a miracle to beat Whittaker. I'm really happy for him but eish, i just don't see it happening man. Maybe if he can somehow become a cardio machine in the interim.

So many grappling scenarios where you see Till get 40% through the right sequence, and then just stop. Like watching kids with 2 years of wrestling starting to get it, but not quite.
