Ben Askren travelled to London this past weekend with intentions of confronting former UFC welterweight title challenger Darren Till.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rivals, who have gone back and forth on social media for months, actually had a brief encounter at the UFC London weigh-ins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was expected that Ben Askren would later enter the octagon and challenge Darren Till, this after \u201cThe Gorilla\u201d defeated Jorge Masvidal in the UFC London main event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That of course didn\u2019t happen, as \u201cGamebred\u201d went on to starch the Liverpool native with a brutal second round knockout<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The loss marked Till\u2019s second stoppage defeat in a row<\/a>, and subsequently put a stop to any plans of a Ben Askren grudge match, at least for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFunky\u2019s\u201d initial reaction to Till\u2019s devastating loss was that of sympathy<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Askren\u2019s tune changed yesterday evening shortly after Darren Till finally broke his silence on the loss<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Bellator and ONE<\/a> champion captioned and old tweet<\/a> that Darren Till had proceeded to roast \u201cThe Gorilla\u201d with the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
