Darren Till to Sean O’Malley: ‘Don’t start calling the guy who just beat you a journeyman’

UFC middleweight contender Darren Till thinks Sean O’Malley needs to show some more respect in defeat.

O’Malley suffered a first-round TKO loss to Marlon Vera at UFC 252 earlier this month after injuring his ankle in the first round, but ‘Suga’ has been reluctant to give ‘Chito’ any credit for the victory, labelling his opponent a journeyman fighter.

“Let’s look at his career in five years, let’s look at mine. I’m going to be f**king world champion, he’s going to be a f**king journeyman,” he said.

Till who, like O’Malley is one of the most hyped young prospects in the UFC, advised the formerly undefeated bantamweight to credit Vera for the win and accept his loss like a man — no excuses.
