WATCH: Darren Till Gets a Bloodied Mouth After a Sparring Session With Khamzat Chimaev- “Lad Got My A**e Kicked”

Darren Till sits with a bloodied mouth after his sparring session with Khamzat Chimaev.

The former welterweight fighter Till snapped his undefeated streak after a loss in his title fight in 2018. He also suffered a knockout loss in his next fight. Later, ‘The Gorilla’ moved up a weight class and won against Kelvin Gastelum in his middleweight debut.

However, that is his only win in the last five fights. ‘The Gorilla’ is currently on a two-fight skid and to map his way into the win column, the fighter has moved to Sweden to train with one of the best fighters in UFC.

‘The Gorilla’ is honing his skills with the Russian-born mauler Khamzat Chimaev at the Allstar Training Center in Stockholm, Sweden. Both the fighters are training vigorously and are also getting along well with each other.

In a recent video uploaded by TheMacLife official, after one good sparring session with Chimaev, ‘The Gorilla’ said, “Lad got my a**e kicked. It’s what it’s all about though innit. Getting it done.”

‘Borz’ is an undefeated fighter and is one of the best grapplers in the promotion. He made his UFC debut in 2020. The Chechen star is 4-0 in the UFC and has won all his fight via a finish, three in the first round.

He became a household name after his dominant win at UFC 267 in Abu Dhabi. Ever since then, ‘Borz’ has been calling out many top-tier fighters for a clash. However, he now has a name for his next fight.

Even though both Chimaev and Burns have a similar fighting style, ‘Borz’ believes he could easily defeat the Brazilian. He then wants to face the winner of the grudge match between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington.

In an interview with Rt Sport, Chimaev said, “I think it’s 50/50. I don’t care which of them wins. I am fighting Burns now, then after beating Burns.”

“Hopefully, I will fight the winner of Masvidal-Covington, because it seems like Usman has a hand injury and needs time to recover.”- Chimaev concluded.

This much-awaited grudge match will headline UFC 272 on 6th March 2020, and considering the history of the fighters, this clash will surely bring fireworks inside the octagon.
