I\u2019ve got a daughter in Brazil right now who I haven\u2019t seen for one year. I don\u2019t really care. I just care about legacy and greatness. That\u2019s what I\u2019m in this for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Till has clarified, explaining that he only meant that he needs to be selfish and singleminded ahead of his title fight.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ooHpNC\">\u201cIt\u2019s all about being selfish now until the eighth of September,\u201d Till told the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rQO-6bBFf7M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Obviously Fight Talk podcast<\/a>\u00a0(via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2018\/8\/9\/17670420\/ufc-darren-till-responds-online-trolls-offended-parenting-snub-have-selfish-mma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAMania<\/a>). \u201cIt\u2019s funny, I haven\u2019t even really read what people are saying but my girlfriend is sitting next to me right now, laughing. It comes to sort of right to stuff like that when my girlfriend is laughing and it\u2019s offending grown men and grown women. That\u2019s just funny shit. It doesn\u2019t affect them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just in case it still isn&#8217;t clear what Till meant, former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping recently jumped to the aid of his countryman:<\/p>\n<p id=\"Qy9fhp\">\u201cWhat he\u2019s saying is, right now his mission, his quest in life, is to be the best fighter in the world, win the world title and go down in history. Of course he loves his daughter,\u201d Bisping said of Till on his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bisping.libsyn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cBelieve You Me\u201d podcast<\/a>\u00a0via\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsjoe.ie\/mma\/michael-bisping-darren-till-controversy-172473\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sports Joe.<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"aewShX\">\u201cOf course he wants to see her.
