It’s clear there’s a massive level of respect between Israel Adesanya and Darren Till . After UFC middleweight champion Adesanya (20-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) put on a masterclass against Paulo Costa at UFC 253, Till said he was inspired by the “Stylebender’s” performance. Though Till (18-3-1 MMA, 6-3-1 UFC) hasn’t had a standout showing yet since moving up to 185 pounds, Adesanya echoes his sentiment and also takes inspiration from him – not just as a person, but he also admires his fighting style. “I love striking, and I love the way he strikes,” Adesanya told MMA Junkie. “Very basic muay Thai, and I mean that with all respect, but also his clinch game and his elbow game is advanced, but he sticks to his basic muay Thai. His left kick, his left straight, the way he curves his left.
