Some other things worth considering:

Till is very heavy on his lead leg. Whittaker has nasty Oblique/calf kicks/Knee stomps. Till doesn't kick very much at all, and doesn't check them either. He kind of just eats them.It's actually quite possible that Till's leg is utterly destroyed in round 1, which will slow him down, and force him to switch out of Southpaw, making him orthodox against a very dangerous Southpaw in Whittaker.

Whittaker has really good Blitzes, and Till has looked very porous against quick combinations. This is a serious problem for him considering he's going to be on the back foot a lot, and will, I assure you, find himself with his back to the cage at some point.

Whittaker will have the cardio advantage...quite a considerable one. It is extremely unlikely that Till wins by decision, especially given he's going to be spending a lot more energy purely by virtue of trotting around on his pony.

Till has no Top game. If he does manage to catch Whittaker, he either won't follow it up on the ground,  or will, and will get reversed, and find himself below Whittaker who has nasty, nasty GNP. Till will need a clean KO to win by finish, a TKO is very unlikely.

Yep, this pick is now something I have to sleep on. I'm thinking I'm putting too much into Till, he hasn't really impressed me but


I'm putting in too much of the thought of Whittaker is damaged.

Till is going to put Bobby to sleep.  I think he’s going to catch him trying to close the distance.  Also too many question marks around Whittaker’s health for me.  I like Whittaker, but would he really have been champ if GSP didn’t retire?!

Seriously Emilio? I know there are no stupid questions but that one's pretty close. GSP ******* gave up the belt and retired from the sport from fear of Whittaker who he had promised to defend the title against if he won. That was literally in the contract.  Chicken **** ***********er!!! He's probably getting anal probed by aliens as we speak.

technically both whittaker and till are subjects of the queen so loyalties are divided on this one. i just heard hardy say till, whittaker and adesanya all will smoke costa with little or no problem that shows the bias you were just talking about. you can believe that if you want.

Hypothetically questions about passed fights are kind of dumb, but hah I think GSP would have beaten the Whittaker that fought Romero.

the fact that gsp retired and gave up his belt twice to avoid fights he prolly would have won anyway just proves he has a cowardly soul.

I think Whittaker’s all around game is better than tills, but Whittaker has been in some wars with Romero and a ko from idesanya. If he gets into another fire fight with Till it could be a short night

Khamzat Chimaev X Rhys McKee

I don't know, have to see first how the weigh-cut from Middleweight to Welterweight on one and half week affects Chimaev.

Not Nut Huggery. Guarantee Till's leg is busted to bits after R2 max, assuming the fight hasn't ended. And when it does, expect me to rub **** in your face about it. Whittaker does have great blitzes, does have better cardio, and Till doesn't have any top game.

Just facts.
