The latter was discussing the technique that has made Till so successful. But Cormier mocked him with some verbal pokes. However, the American was ready for it.
“Darren Till, he is very measured in his approach, he doesn’t sit there and throwing hopes. He aims at the fire,” Belal said. Cormier then stopped him midway and jokingly said, “you ready to pay champ? Are you ready to pay?… That’s straight work by the champ. Just know it.”
