Think people are going overboard with the robbery shouts. It was a very close fight, and I think Till probably edged it myself. Till had all the control, landed some good leg kicks and was the only one anywhere near finishing it with the knockdown.
It was a fight that didn’t make sense to begin with, in my opinion. I actually enjoy watching Wonderboy usually, and he’s obviously unbelievably skilled, but his style clearly isn’t conjusive to being in “entertaining” fights. Which isn’t what you want when promoting a potentially huge upcoming star. Imagine the hype if Till had won a great fight with Jorge Masvidal, or been allowed to tee off on Maia who is no more than a heavy bag these days.
Question is, who next for Till? Be interested to see how his size/untested grappling stands up against Covington or Usman, if the UFC would dare. The only other fight they could make would be RDA, who himself is no blue belt. Unless they go Maia or Masvidal and make a mockery of the rankings as they often do.
