MMA Fighter Darren Till Comments on Logan Paul Potentially Joining UFC Mixed martial artist Darren \u2018The Gorilla\u2019 Till didn\u2019t take kindly to Logan Paul potentially joining the UFC. Both praise and criticism have surrounded Logan Paul since his boxing match with KSI on August 25th. While Brendan Schaub and other fighting personalities recognized Pauls\u2019 success, Till wasn\u2019t having any of it. Till published a Tweet on August 30th criticizing Paul, citing the difficulty of dedicating one\u2019s life to the UFC and calling Logan an \u201cembarrassment\u201d to the sport. \u201cEvery day is hard as fuck, every day is a little more harder on your physical & mental state. Then ye get a **** coming along like this youtuber fella thinking he can mix it in the @ufc \u2026 don\u2019t embarrass our sport.\u201d 600https:\/\/twitter.com\/darrentill2\/status\/1035236390731051008 Till\u2019s comments come in response to an earlier tweet from Paul, in which he expressed heavy interest in joining the UFC as a chance to utilize his background in wrestling. \u201cthe thought of securing a fight in the @UFC is exciting\u2026 could finally use my wrestling background\u2026 but i hear some other celebrities\/athletes want to catch these hands first? ?\u201d 600https:\/\/twitter.com\/LoganPaul\/status\/1034826250198503429 While Till\u2019s comments express distaste towards YouTubers capitalizing off of fighting, others have felt differently. Comedian and fighter Brendan Schaub had praise for the YouTuber\u2019s ability to garner such a wide audience, stating that the UFC itself could learn from Paul\u2019s promotional skills. Schaub likewise mentioned the possibility of UFC executives looking to Paul as a potential fighter, citing his colorful past in high school athletics and boxing ability. Whether Paul will join the ranks of the UFC\u2019s fighters or not remains to be seen, but the commentary surrounding the debacle brings many takes on a conversation of bringing new blood into the ring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
