Ingen har väl missat den oväntade vänskapen mellan welterviktarna Darren Till och Mike Perry. Det hela började med ett missförstånd då Perry frågade Till om han ville sparras – men titelutmanaren missuppfattade och trodde att Perry ville gå till spa tillsammans.

Nu fortsätter vänskapen blomma och Perry, som tränat på samma gym som Woodley, American Top Team i Florida, berättade nyligen till Submission Radio vilka tips han gett Till inför Liverpool-sonens första titelmatch mot regerande welterviktsmästaren Tyron ”The Chosen One” Woodley.
“I did man [give him some tips] because, I mean, just the way that I see it, with fighting against a shorter fighter, Darren stands rather tall and I said I think he needs to get down and bend his knees,” sade Perry.
“He needs to get his eyes on the same level as ‘T-Woodley’s’ I mean he’s got a good turn away from the takedown and the shot, but you know, [I said] ‘I’m not trying to give you advice because you’re the one fighting the champ, but the way that I think I see it, I think maybe you could do this some more; bend your knees some more and get lower sometimes.
“I know you’re going to do what you do and fight confidently and I’m sure T-Woodley will do too. Who really knows!? Who knows. I just hope those boys make that weight so they can fight for that damn thing.”
UFC 228: Woodley vs. Till
Till tar sig an Woodley på UFC 228 i Dallas, Texas och britten tränger sig före den före detta(?) interim-mästaren i weltervikt Colby Covington. Samtidigt som Perry berättade om vilka tips han gett till, stack han inte under stol med att han mer än gärna tar sig an Covington när han är tillbaka efter näsoperationen.
“Sure if we go off of anger issues and f***ing Colby Covington being just a little f***ing bitch, I’ll take that fight all day,” fortsatte Perry. “But Till would be great out of respect still. I respect what the kid has done, s***, I respect, Colby got the interim belt so I don’t respect him for that, but he did something that I haven’t done yet.
“I know he’s talented as far as fighting goes. [He’s got] strength, his wrestling capabilities, his cardio, he trains his ass off. I’d get in there though and try to cut his face open.”
