Super stoked for @TWooodley it must feel like a slap in the face to come into a title fight as the champion, and be considered the underdog, especially after many successful defenses. But that victory must feel good to shove the bullshit right down the haters throats

Maybe this is the one that lets the mma world cut it out with its criminal level of under-appreciation for @TWooodley ?

I believe Till was rushed into the title shot, but he has the world in front of him and will come back stronger. #ufc228

Respect!!! @darrentill2 people might take his persona as cocky or arrogant but I see him as a man who has lots of self belief. Humble in victory and defeat. #warrior
