Till joined Michael Bisping and Anthony Smith at Believe Me You podcast last year. When Bisping asked him about life outside UFC, Till went off against du Plessis and said:

"Look what the current UFC middleweight champion has done to top contenders, he's battered a lot of them. I made him look like a child on the feet. If it was a bit more aggressive and I had box I'd have flatlined him and obviously other things what are people talking about, he battered Strickland, he battered all. I made him look like a kid. He is the shi**iest man I've ever gone against, he's total dog s*it."
