UFC middleweight star Darren Till is backing up fellow UFC fighter Sean Brady in his fight against online trolls. Till, who is no stranger to online trolling from both fans and fighters, shares Brady's dislike for such critics, especially those on X.
In his pre-fight media scrum for UFC Vegas 97, Sean Brady addressed online haters accusing him of being a "fraud checked" by UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad, saying:
"I don't understand the fraud check thing. Twitter fu**ing sucks. It's a cesspool full of miserable, miserable people... These people on there are nuts."

"You would never say that these guys say to your face...What's getting fraud checked by a fighter who's in the top-10, top-15? I just don't understand it, so that's frustrating to see...I guess I got fraud checked by the UFC [welterweight] champion. Thanks, bro."
Here's Brady's comments as posted by MMA Junkie on X:
Darren Till retweeted the video with the caption:
"Yeh… I agree. Twitter mma trolls are the stupidest humans on earth. You are all thick."
Sean Brady's first and only loss was at the hands of Belal Muhammad back in 2022
Back in 2022 at UFC 280, Sean Brady put his undefeated record on the line against future welterweight kingpin Belal Muhammad. To his disappointment, Brady lost his "O" to the Palestinian-American via TKO.
The first round saw a close striking battle between the two, as both men are grappling specialists and largely canceled each other's wrestling. Muhammad got the edge a little bit as he was the constant aggressor in the round.
The same story continued in the second round, with both men getting good licks in on the feet. In the second half of the round, however, Muhammad started putting pressure and eventually caught Brady with a powerful right hand that wobbled him.
A few powerful combinations later, and the referee stopped the fight as Sean Brady wasn't intelligently defending himself anymore. It was Brady's first professional loss, and Muhammad's first stoppage win in six years.
After the Muhammad loss, Brady bounced back with a Performance of the Night-winning submission over Kelvin Gastelum less than two months later. He is now set to face Gilbert Burns in the main event of UFC Vegas 97 this weekend.
