UFC middleweight Darren Till took to social media and trolled former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub in a way only he could. Till put out a tongue and check claim to begin a petition to ban Schaub from the MMA community. Chiefly, ‘The Gorilla’ put forth this notion after a video surfaced of Brendan Schaub congratulating Logan Paul after his bout against Floyd Mayweather.

Logan Paul met Floyd Mayweather in an 8-round exhibition and managed to extend ‘Money’ Mayweather across all 8 rounds.

The MMA community has collectively scoffed at the Paul brothers ever since they’ve begun making waves in the boxing world.
