Darren Till was one of the UFC stars present at the O2 arena in London for the UFC Fight Night 204 event. The Liverpudlian showed support for his compatriots on the British-heavy fight card. In fact, he joined teammate Tom Aspinall in the octagon to celebrate his win over Alexander Volkov in the main event. However, this didn’t go down well with the UFC Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya.

Adesanya shared a video of him reacting to the event on YouTube and applauded Aspinall. Next, he asked Till to come off the screen and not steal the limelight of Aspinall. “Oh sit down Darren, it’s not your moment. Sit the f**k down, not your moment. Get the f**k off,” he said.
Someone responded to him, “He’s not won in a while, let him enjoy it,” and left the ‘The Last Stylebender’ in stitches.
In response, ‘The Gorilla’ shared the clip on his Instagram story and wrote a message for the middleweight champ. “@Stylebender you idiot @Tomaspinallofficial asked me to get on the cage with him, keep looking down on me for my losses brother its all good ill be here one day you watch… You haven’t looked the best either in ur last few fights stay off the co***ne it’s not healthy for fighters…”

Adesanya is one of the top fighters in the UFC, and he has a special fanbase for his unusual swagger. However, UFC lightweight division fighter Paddy Pimblett isn’t one of those fans.
