During the build-up of the Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley boxing bout, a member of Paul’s team got into an altercation with a family member of Woodley. This situation displeased the majority of the combat sports community. Meanwhile, some believe that nothing is off the table when it comes to the fight game. One such person includes Woodley’s former rival and the former UFC welterweight title challenger, Darren Till.

However, the spectators who were present at the press conference cooled down an angry Woodley. Regardless, this altercation fueled up Woodley’s anger towards the ‘Problem Child’ even more, as he doesn’t like when someone disrespects ‘Momma’ Woodley.

Recently in the UFC Vegas 36 pre-fight interview, Darren Till shared his opinion on this situation. As per ‘The Gorilla’, “nothings off-limits” in the fight game.

Till said – “When two men were about to go in there and rip the heads off each other. So, you’re going to start getting offended with things that people saying to your Momma?.. Maybe this isn’t a sport for you, you need to go find another sport.”

“If someone is saying something about your kids, and like this, or your wife, find something else to do. Because you need to have thick skin in the sports, and especially you need to have thicker skin when you got a man on top of your tongue to elbow you stays in the face. So, that’s how I look at it.”
