8 Most Notorious Gym Fights In MMA
6. Darren Till Vs. Zack Deegan
Darren Till is the biggest star in Britsh MMA right now and for good reason. His recent decision victory over Stephen Thompson at UFC Liverpool saw him become the #2 ranked welterweight in the UFC.
Leading into his fight with Thompson, the undefeated Till brought in sparring partners to help him deal with the karateka's unorthodox striking style. One of these partners was Zach Deegan, an Irish amateur boxer and karate stylist.
A video Till posted on his own Instagram shows the Liverpudlian landing a series of brutal strikes to the karateka, connecting cleanly to both the head and body, prompting a backlash online from people claiming Till had gone too far by continually striking Deegan when he appeared dazed.
However, Till responded to the claims with a followup post on his Instagram demonstrating that he uploads footage of both the good and bad from his training.
