How dare you get hurt - Fans give Darren Till grief for not showing up at UFC London

Darren Till [Image courtesy: Getty Images] Middleweight contender was all set to face off against fellow top-10 middleweight before he had to withdraw . While the injury is undisclosed, this marks the second time that Till has pulled out of a scheduled fight against Hermansson. This makes it even more painful for the Englishman considering UFC Fight Night was taking place in London at the O2 Arena. Injury robbed him of a chance to be the homecoming hero, but he found solace in taking up Chris Curtis' offer of cornering him against Hermansson. Chris Curtis has grabbed an opportunity for a fight against a ranked opponent to prove that his eight-fight win streak is no fluke. While stepping in for Till, he also graciously offered 'The Gorilla' a spot in his corner which the latter accepted. However, in a sincere note to fans, Darren Till revealed that he would not make an appearance in Curtis' corner via Twitter: "I won't be cornering Chris this weekend at UFC London, I feel it would be disrespectful to the whole situation after pulling out of the fight to then turn up to the corner of the fight. I wish Chris the best of luck he's a proper guy & we trained together & he can do good things, I also wish Jack the best of luck may both men have a good fight." After wishing both fighters luck, Till revealed that he needs to take it easy on his body so as to not risk further physical complications: "Only problem right now is that my body is brittle through years of hard torment day in day to the body. I need to take a more controlled relaxed approach in the next 10 years!" Check out his tweet here:

While some took the satirical route in response to his 'couch potato' comment, others vehemently expressed their displeasure at being referred to as such. Surely recovery is part of the process? And it's not just that you need to take a break more? Or you're saying your training hasn't been suitable for you? If your body is "brittle" this isn't a newly discovered thing right? You haven't only just found this out? Or have you? Surely recovery is part of the process? And it's not just that you need to take a break more?
