Darren Till is looking sharp ahead of his upcoming welterweight bout with Stephen Thompson at UFC Fight Night 130.

Till, 25, posted some sparring footage in the lead-up to the event but was criticized by fans for ‘bullying’ his sparring partner.

The Liverpudlian dropped his teammate with a left hand and landed a flurry of body shots before following up with another crisp left hook.

Fighters are known to spar hard during training camp, and Till made sure to remind the ‘internet’ trolls of that fact in a follow-up Instagram post, where he posted old footage of a sparring session which saw Till on the receiving end of some heavy shots.
