Anyone believe Till can evolve in a way to get a title shot again? I don't. He'll always have a puncher's chance but his grappling/ground game will leave him vulnerable.

Another factor is his insistence on fighting at WW. He's a middleweight, for sure. All that weight cutting makes him more susceptible to getting KO'd.

you can learn a lot about a fighter by how they react to losses

I think the UFC pushed him too fast

He's young and has a ton of potential

I bet if he just slowed way the fuck down he can right this ship

I wish him well

It had been a while and I was getting worried as I follow him on IG and he usually posts daily updates.

After a tough loss like that it's good to see his mind is in the right place.

I think he should take same time off to improve aspects of his game, and move up to middleweight, in a few years time he won't be able to make welterweight anyway.

As far as KO's go, you can't take many of those in your career before you start slurring your words. I think he needs to be built up slowly, he's not a Championship level fighter yet, he needs time to improve his skill set.

I think he has a real future, but I think his statement is accurate. Dont rush. Refocus. I hate it when fighters are rushing to the top, it rarely works well.

He’s 24......he’s a baby, he’ll learn and grow or he’ll not learn and disappear to another organisation

Don't like the guy, at all, but its good to see hes got the right attitude.

He was believing his own hype, this loss was a sobering one, he can't fight like that, doesn't have the defence or the chin to trade with hard hitters like Masvidal.

THIS!!!!!!!!! He won 1 fight against Cerrone and he was pushed hard!!! Doesnt make sense. He didnt even showcase anything spectacular against anyone to show he was going to be a force. I was far from sold on this guy.

Till was just another one dimensional UFC hype job who is very good at cutting weight allowing him to be HUGE @ 170. The win against Thompson was retarded and Cowboy was way too small for him. He looked like a white belt against Tyronn. I called it and that was even more embarrassing than I thought it would be.

I expect a middli g future for Till...

I think it can only be true with a camp change, he needs new trainers, new ideas, new strategy, and new training partners.
If he stays where he is doing the same things he's going to get the same result.
