“I hope you enjoyed the fight and all, it was a bit of a war. “I felt like I had him there, I was making him switch. “Now, I don’t know what to do properly, but I think i’m going to have a little time off from the UFC, I don’t know, and just rethink stuff.

Till continuously tried to score reversals, attempting switches and butterfly elevations rather than just f—king sprawl and jam du Plessis’ head toward the canvas. Till was injured and in poor physical form, and Brunson is a darn good wrestler. Till feints with his lead side, but it hasn’t actually done anything that interesting since he side kicked Thompson’s knee and tore some ligaments.

I want to fight soon. I give my all to this sport. But when I step there in the octagon, I just can’t seem to put things together. I entered in the UFC in 2015. “I tried to come and put a show on. But I’m on a bit of losing skid at the moment, I really am.
