Midnight Mania! Watch Darren Till Claim ‘Worst Dad Ever’ Title | UFC Betting Sites

Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Darren Till, who fights Tyron Woodley for the UFC welterweight championship in the headliner of UFC 228 on September 8, said with apparent sincerity that he doesn’t care about his family or daughter. His daughter, who lives in Brazil, hasn’t seen him in a year, his current girlfriend is seven months pregnant. Darren Till says he doesn’t care, he just cares about getting the belt and being the greatest.

I was starting to like Darren Till until this….

What a piece of shit. pic.twitter.com/cdHNNmsK1n

Transcript via MiddleEasy.com:

“I’ve got a girlfriend who’s nearly seven months pregnant. I don’t really care. I’ve got a daughter in Brazil right now who I haven’t seen for one year. I don’t really care. I just care about legacy and greatness. That’s what I’m in this for.”

There is a certain level of selfishness that just comes with the territory for elite fighters and athletes, but this goes beyond that. Till, if we can take his comments seriously, doesn’t see his family as motivation and a source of stability the way other fighters do. Everyone from Cody Garbrandt to TJ Dillashaw to Daniel Cormier to Robert Whittaker… hell, even Jon Jones is proud of his family and kids. He doesn’t consider them at all. I can’t think of any other fighter who would openly admit to being that bad of a father. At 25, Darren Till is well on his way towards being the greatest… the greatest deadbeat dad in the sport of MMA.

Chris Pratt really enjoys MMA

?? Thank you to whomever took this photo of me ringside at last night’s @ufc event! I’d never been to a UFC event live before. And the face I’m making in this photo pretty much sums up how I felt all night. I don’t really get star struck by actors anymore. But UFC commentators like @joerogan and fighters like @dc_mma are another story. Congrats to the champions @tjdillashaw & @henry_cejudo on your spectacular performances and gratitude to @danawhite and all the fighters who put on such a wonderful show. Respect! Hope to be back!!

This must be an amazing feeling for Marlon Vera, though it also seems like he shouldn’t have to literally fight for the chance to get his daughter healthcare.

Joe Rogan had some pretty good thoughts on redeeming people from hate cults like the Westboro Baptist church, who are protesting him.

Kansas City! Im getting protested at my show this Friday by the Westboro Baptist Church! SO EXCITING! The only thing I took objection to was that they said I’m an atheist. I have no idea if there’s a higher power, but I would have to assume if there is one he’s definitely not happy that these hateful twats are running around pretending that they speak for him/her. I honestly feel bad for them. All humans are on a path that’s largely determined by many factors outside their control, and these poor fucks have found themselves in a sad state where they seek out attention by showing up places with “god hates fags” signs. I had Megan Phelps on my podcast a while back, and she left the church. Her eyes were opened to how fucked up her beliefs were from talking to people on twitter of all places. It’s a fascinating conversation if you’re interested. Because of Megan, I choose to think of all these people as individuals that could be free with the right mindset and the right circle of friends and loved ones – free from foolish, constricting hate that occupies all your thoughts and steals your love and joy. If there is a god, he/she loves them, and wishes they would get their shit together like Megan has.

I remember this fearsome knockout by Koreshkov

That is one NASTY body kick. That kick can sleep a bull. ____________________________ #pullcounter #boxing #mma #mmahighlights #mmaskills #mmaknockout #knockouts #ufc #ufchighlights #mmanews #bjj #muaythai #samba #kickboxing

Defense

Pernell Whitaker had Oscar de la Hoya hitting air. Sweet Pea was definitely a very unique fighter, the kind that made the sport beautiful. ______________________ #pullcounter #boxing #boxeo #pernellwhitaker #sweetpeawhitaker #goldenboy #oscardelahoya #delahoya #delahoyawhitaker
