UFC middleweight contender Darren Till has some advice for bantamweight star Sean O’Malley, who recently suffered his first professional loss.<\/p>\n

O’Malley got his first taste of defeat at UFC 252 earlier this month, when he was stopped by Marlon “Chito” Vera after injuring his leg early in the first round.<\/p>\n

Till, like O’Malley, enjoyed an exciting unbeaten streak to start his UFC career, but ultimately stumbled against Tyron Woodley, Jorge Masvidal and Robert Whittaker. As such, he’s well-positioned to offer O’Malley advice on how to handle setbacks like his loss to Vera.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou always have to give credit,\u201d Darren Till said on Michael Bisping’s Believe You Me<\/em><\/a>\u00a0podcast, referencing O’Malley’s disparaging post-fight comments<\/a> about Vera (via MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cI was saying something to someone before about Sean O\u2019Malley with \u2018Chito\u2019 Vera. I really like Sean and I think he\u2019s gonna be good, but you got beat, man. Take your loss, have respect, you will be a champion yet in the future, but don\u2019t start calling the guy who just beat you a journeyman.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not throwing disrespect at him,” Till continued. “I think he\u2019s a good fighter, but there\u2019s two things that stuck out in my mind. One, is the way that he lost [with his ankle] and it just makes me think that I fought three complete rounds with a torn MCL. My knees are f*cked. I know what I had to fight with for those three rounds. I couldn\u2019t use what I\u2019m best at. I\u2019m a master of movement and I couldn\u2019t do it. I was there. There was no way I was going. Even when Rob took me down, I was in so much pain and I was like, \u2018Get back up, get back up, get back up.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cNumber two, I just think the way he\u2019s handling it after the fight, \u2018Oh, he\u2019s a journeyman, I\u2019m gonna be a champion,\u2019 mate, just take the loss. Give the respect and you\u2019ll be a champion. Just forget all of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Darren Till has been open<\/a> about the effect that his first pro losses had on his confidence, but has since learned how to cope with defeat. He notes that many of the greatest fighters of all time have all experienced defeats at one point or another, and urges O’Malley to keep that in mind as he looks to bounce back from his first loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world\u2019s best have all lost,\u201d Till said, offering O’Malley his advice. \u201cMuhammad Ali, I even believe Floyd Mayweather lost, too, even though he is one of a kind. We all lost. I am one of the world\u2019s best and we all lose. Take your loss, go back, come back.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
