Chimaev claims Darren Till's loss could have been avoided with joint training
Khamzat Chimaev and Darren Till have become close friends, dubbed the 'Smesh Bros'. The No.3 welterweight recently stated that he feels the No.15 middleweight would have won at UFC 282 if they had trained together prior to the bout.
Interacting to Red Corner MMA, 'Borz' quoted:
"For his last fight, he trained here at Tiger. I don't know who he trained with. Yes, we are close friends with Darren, but he has his own coaches. He is a grown man, he knows what to do. If he'd trained with me in Sweden, it would've been a different fight for sure. This is my opinion at least."
Chimaev further added:
"Darren has a lot of problems nobody knows about. He needs to take care of them. He needs to fix his knee. He needs a knee surgery, but he takes fights instead. I said to him, 'hey, do the surgery first then fight'. We will see. He knows what to do. I have been helping him in every way I could and I will keep doing so."
Darren Till has lost five of his previous six fights, four of which were by knockout. Till's fortunes have deteriorated since battling for the welterweight championship at UFC 228 in 2018, and he is now in risk of dropping out of the middleweight ranks.
