As per a report by ‘MMA Junkie‘, Till had been wanting to go back to the basics. His shift to the middleweight division hasn’t been easy. After a win against Kelvin Gastelum, he lost the next two fights. Thus, going back to the basics and training with Chimaev might offer him some new insights and skills to show in the octagon.
