UFC middleweight Darren Till took to social media and shared a hilarious post that’s grabbed the attention of MMA fans. The Englishman is one of the most entertaining personalities in the sport today, and he used social media to elevate his profile. Till comes up with interesting ways to troll fellow fighters and media members, generally in a playful manner.

Chiefly, Till posted a video grab of Glover Teixeira’s post-fight interview after his massive win over Thiago Santos. Darren has superimposed an aging filter to the video that has Teixeira looking much older than 41.

The aforementioned post is Darren Till’s way of congratulating Glover who’s a beloved figure in the sport. It would be an uphill task to find someone who has a negative word to say about the Brazilian veteran. He came in as the underdog against Santos and defied the odds once more, making it a feel-good moment for a lot of fans.

UFC Fight Night: Thiago Santos vs Glover Teixeira- Deep dive

The aforementioned title eliminator lived up to the hype as there was no lack of exciting back-and-forth moments. ‘Marreta’ dropped Glover Teixeira in the opening moments of the fight with heavy-handed hooks and pressuring straights. However, the 41-year-old secured a clinical takedown and immediately began producing ground strikes.

Additionally, he began racking up the ground control time and it seemed as though he would put away Thiago. However, the tide would turn once more as the heavy-handed fighter in Santos once again rocked Teixeira. Glover used his experience and dragged his opponent to the canvas to submit him via RNC choke early in the third round.

The statement victory puts Glover on a five-fight win streak. He is on his way towards a title shot. It is increasingly difficult to deny Glover given his performances. The only thing going against Teixeira is the fact that Israel Adesanya is primed to make his way up to light heavyweight. ‘The Last Stylebender’ wants to face Jan Blachowicz for the belt, and this could cause complications for Glover’s title shot timeline.
