Bullying is one of the most heinous acts that one could inflict on another. It takes a severe psychological toll on the person going through it. UFC welterweights Darren Till and Mike Perry had a lot to say about a bunch of bullies exposed online.
A gang of boys has been recorded, lynching and demeaning a 12-year-old boy. The bullies took turns beating up the boy, and one is seen to have kicked him in his genital area.

Darren Till, Mike Perry, and others react to the bullying video
Darren Till is one of the most genuine personalities in the sport currently. His outgoing and no filter personality helps him speak his mind whenever he wants. Clearly, he let loose with his word on the bullies.
Another former welterweight of the UFC, Mike Perry, also replied to the post, stating, “Damn, w*f man, there is some karma coming for them no doubt.”
The advocation of anti-bullying is something that has been going on for a while. Many MMA fighters have also spoken against bullying and some have even shared their experience of the same.
Other MMA fighters and personalities also demanded to punish the bullies in a severe manner. Whether productive or not, it is good to know that media personalities actively voice out against bullying on social media.
This dirty scums punishment should be to have to each take 5 full force punches from Francis Ngannou and if they are still alive after that throw them in jail
