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
Till has always been an elite striker he can strike with anybody in the top 10 of welter weight or middle weight, the issue is his dogshit takedown defense and his dogshit cardio
@@Kangaroofilet yeah his shot selection and accuracy are top notch but the cardio just dooms him every fight - classic example of a dude whos a great hammer and terrible nail - if hes not winning hes loosing as hard as possible and basically making the worst choices - no way to mitigate bad positions, and his lack of output means he ends up in lots of close fights
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.
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 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.
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.
@@lsdelonly in the rematches. Wait till he fights someone that didn’t know his ass out. It’ll be back to being a legend of the game. Not to mention his knees are chalked and he walks down stairs backwards. A dude with shot knees that has to walk on grass cuz pavement hurts him too bad… would absolutely MAUL YOUR FAT ASS HAHAHAHAHA
Only advice Izzy is taking from Till is what not to do with takedown defense 😂 this was horrible. A 10 year old that’s wrestled 2 years could’ve stuffed those takedowns.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
@@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 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.
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
@@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.
This fight has actually aged extremely well indeed, I am not what you would call a DT fan but credit where credit is due given just how far DDP has now gone in the ufc.
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!
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.
@@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.
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.
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? 🤷
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
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.
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.
Now DDP is the champ. In hindsight, all of Till's losses have been to the absolute elite (arguably with the exception of Brunson, though you could say the same about him)
Remind me, why did he retired? He didn't got cut right? He did well against some fighters, his striking's good, he just lack grappling and i heard lacking disciplines too
@@ZettontheGOAT He didn't retire officially but he asked to be released from the UFC so he could do other things like Boxing and BKFC. The grappling aspect of MMA was causing constant knee injuries for him. He promised when he's ready to re-enter MMA he would only fight in the UFC, not another organisation.
Not only MMA but his diet. Had he stayed at 170 I think he’d have a better career. He got too heavy and fat at 185 which put even more strain on his already shot knees. Also would have loved to see him switch to a CKB or even Kill cliff. So much wasted potential.
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
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.
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
@@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.
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 will not count anybody out in this sport... MMA is something else... I cant imagine how long five minutes must be in that cage. Rob is a great fighter but Dricus has enough power to knock Him out and he's an accurate striker. Time will tell...
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.
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.
@@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
@@capncrunch6209 another twerp who thinks training with someone for 3 months is going to improve your game LMAO he could have trained with the hulk and it wouldnt matter. kahmzat is no coach and you dont train 20 years of experience in half a year.
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
Agree completely. RW is probably the best #1 in the UFC right now, other than Adesanya (Which you can argue he also beat in that second fight) the rest of the division is so far below him. Du Plessis will need a very lucky win against RW to get the title shot.

What potential? He’s not even a well-rounded striker, let alone a well-rounded mixed martial artist
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.
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.
DDP can overwhelm Shawn Strickland in the first 2 rounds. However, in the latter rounds Shawn can definitely finish him imo.
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
UFC tried to give till a tune up fight and ended up giving him the future champ 😂😂
Im here after till called dricus shit at fighting, wow 😂
Now DDP is the champ. In hindsight, all of Till's losses have been to the absolute elite (arguably with the exception of Brunson, though you could say the same about him)
Remind me, why did he retired? He didn't got cut right? He did well against some fighters, his striking's good, he just lack grappling and i heard lacking disciplines too
@@ZettontheGOAT He didn't retire officially but he asked to be released from the UFC so he could do other things like Boxing and BKFC. The grappling aspect of MMA was causing constant knee injuries for him. He promised when he's ready to re-enter MMA he would only fight in the UFC, not another organisation.
Du plessis lands power punches in round 3
Commentary: radio silence
Till lands a knee to the chest in round 2
Commentary OuOuAaOHhhhhhh
No you're just blind 8:26
How good would Till be if he only took MMA more serious… it’s insane
Not only MMA but his diet. Had he stayed at 170 I think he’d have a better career. He got too heavy and fat at 185 which put even more strain on his already shot knees. Also would have loved to see him switch to a CKB or even Kill cliff. So much wasted potential.
Till looks like that dude at the gym who barely trains and shows up like once every 2 weeks 💀
Love how all these comments doubted DDP back then. All this ish about Rob and Izzy who'll beat him😂😂. What now?😂😂
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
Whittaker is going to flatten this dude 😂
OK kikebot.
@@bakslayer3032 wait whittaker is a jew?
@@ronmka8931I thought he was half japanese half Australian
Call the ambulance 🚑 already
unfortunate
watching this.. i think du plessis will gas against strickland
I want another African Champion 😁. 2 champs fighting each other.
Every time till got taken down he flopped like a damn fish wtf is wrong with bro
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.
This version of Ddp gets will get picked apart by Izzy.
Say again 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You gonna ghost now?
I think that last take down stunned Till bad. That was basically a slam.
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
Si, Till tuvo algunos destellos nada más. A mi me encantó el combate.
Le dió duro pero al principio después till también le metió sus puños
Si Lindo squidward
Till le dió putiza en striking pero en lucha du plesis está mejor
Till has never been the same since masvidal starched him
I’m at 3:55, how the hell is this 15 minutes long
This loss aged well. Hope Till can show some career life one more time.
Love the sportsmanship!
Well done champ
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.
Thanks. 👊🏼✌🏻
I enjoyed this fight, I didn't get the chance to watch it live. Good fight.
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
Welterweight small guy with a left straight and a left elbow gave ddp more trouble than the stylebender 😅
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
I will not count anybody out in this sport... MMA is something else... I cant imagine how long five minutes must be in that cage. Rob is a great fighter but Dricus has enough power to knock Him out and he's an accurate striker. Time will tell...
Till did best of all to ddp 😯
And DDP is now champ, and Till is on the regional scene.
After watching this concluded that adesanya gonna kill ddp
Дю плесси Изи вынесеть
you were saying
😂😂😂
He killed Adesanya
What??
I see the reason till retire after this fight 🤦🏽♂️
I’ve never seen Till win a fight.
A lot of new fans and casuals haven’t yeah.
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.
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
@@capncrunch6209 another twerp who thinks training with someone for 3 months is going to improve your game LMAO he could have trained with the hulk and it wouldnt matter. kahmzat is no coach and you dont train 20 years of experience in half a year.
Darren should not have walked away from the UFC. I love watching him, the elbows, the left hand, Just wish his take down defence was a little better
He had one of the prettiest 1-2s and step in elbows. Wish he stayed at welterweight.
Dricus Du Plessis is a warrior.
But his punches are with bent arms , his right hand punches are not straight full force , therefore loosing thrust 😮😮
@@johnnyholtzhausen3493what u say now boy ?????
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
Well predicted ..one of the few that can recognize talent .
With a gatekeeper like RW Adesanya is going to have problems finding others fights for a while.
Agree completely. RW is probably the best #1 in the UFC right now, other than Adesanya (Which you can argue he also beat in that second fight) the rest of the division is so far below him. Du Plessis will need a very lucky win against RW to get the title shot.
Robert is gonna enjoy the ez paycheck
