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 odds were stacked against him, and Brendan Schaub seemed ecstatic after Logan Paul’s performance. The MMA community has collectively scoffed at the Paul brothers ever since they’ve begun making waves in the boxing world.
