MMA training with Darren Till | Conor Benn to the UFC? | CBTV

Yo Guys
Some of you might have seen a snippet of Darren Till giving me a grappling lesson online, well here's the full thing. I travelled up to Liverpool to go and train with The Gorilla.
This is something I've been intrigued by for a while and had some good fun doing it for the first time. Theres a lot to learn and I doubt I'll ever turn over, but it was good fun to give it a go. It's interesting to see how their schedule differs to a boxers schedule, and how the fitness is different. We talk about crossing over sports and the differences between the sports.
I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone at Team Kaobon. All the guys there looked after me and my team and made us feel at home!

Darren Till was so patient like a proud uncle.Kept the environment perfect for Conor to learn.Salute to you Conor for being so humble as to go try something you are not comfortable in.
Massive respect to you Conor for going into an environment where you'd legit just get killed in reality... which I'm sure you realised but you still put this video up, that takes humility and a great eagerness to learn. Huge respect.

9:33 Favourite part of this video. No ego, Till tells Conor ‘head up’ order to get the better position on him rather than just putting him down for his own benefit. What a class video and great insight.
American here, first time seeing Benn in a video like this. Seems like a very classy and down to earth individual.
Conor Ben, you are a quality individual. Class act

@@soys8834 both have their benefits, MMA is definitely the most well rounded, in terms of skill though, a LOT of MMA guys are decent at many things, but not amazing at any. Tbh I think that is partially why you get a lot of MMA fights which you see that are a piss poor standard and just look like two guys outside the pub having a scrap (not talking about UFC). Could also be because it's a newer sport tbf. But in general, the typical 'jack of all trades, master of none' seems appropriate. Not meant in a way to discredit either btw.

Mate you have to try out MMA. I was a boxer at first done a bit of amateur fighting, crossed over to MMA. Kicking comes easy, hands already there, it comes down to BJJ and grappling. I didn't actually go to BJJ trainings nor grappling, it was always mixed trainings. Had my MMA debut this year and won! Didn't enjoy the ground game at first nor the leg kicks didn't feel too good, but I fell in love with it like I did boxing. Give it a go G!

Damn, this is greatness in one video
Been waiting on this 💪🏼keep these coming boss
This was brilliant. Respects to both of you. Class.
Great content. I came here for Darren but your curiosity is contagious and you get a great lesson/interview out of him. Good luck with the grind, my man!
Full respect conor. First time watching your chanel but on the back of this video ive subscribed
till is such a sound bloke id love to train with him would be a class session
Love this insight from Nick. The endurance and focus comparative to boxing is on a whole new gradient in MMA.
Conor.. very Humble. Could see how much u enjoyed that session, fella.
proper genuinely eager to learn and asking questions
quality episode. Top athletes and genuine blokes! Really refreshing for combat sports
This was great boys. We need even more stuff like this. Bring him in on spar days
that was so awesome! pls sir can have some more? connor's every move reminds me of the great nigel benn, a blessed man.
Goes to show there are levels to this. Darren is considered a striker in the UFC, but against the average he looks like a pro wrestler. I do feel getting more wrestling and grappling specialists into the UK will help British mixed martial artists
One of the best video's I've seen in a while.
Awesome watch. Different levels to each discipline
Respect to connor for stepping in to that environment & respect to Darren a future hall of fame trainer. Fantastic to see.
Really fun to see Darren like this, grappling, having fun and teaching
Big respect mate for coming in truly wanting to learn would love to see u in ufc if u just spent next 3 yrs learning wrestling from a high level wrestler and some submission and transition defence
such a great content. so good. appreciate it
Really interesting to watch
Conor that transition to the back was smooth and very natural - well done! Keep coming
Brilliant to see Conor. Keep it up I'd love to see more of this from you
Always been a fan of till, an absolute lad and you can see you genuinely wants to help Connor, “true athlete” 👊🏼
What a good video Respect for till since days and always and Connor what a humble legend. I remember coming from boxing to MMA.
One of the best vids I’ve seen in a while...💯🇬🇧
Such a humble pair of guys 💯
Love watching these two quality video
sweet video...Darren sportin the "Dad Bod" between fights. ha ha ha
Awesome Video both of you are excellent fighters. It would be good to see the outcome of this further down the road.
Great pair of guys, both good at what they do👍
Really want to to see these guys succeed!!! Come on boys big year next year💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Go on Ben... you're becoming a hell of a man, confident not cocky humble and down to earth.
Great insight...Conor learning different techniques...respect son
Good to see a high level boxer giving the respect MMA deserves!
Conor without crossing over to MMA you've just landed a few MMA fans your top class bro Good luck good health
Awesome video. Was really hoping for a boxing spar between Benn and Till though!
Your natural wrestling stance is actually pretty good! I hope you keep at grappling man!
Just subscribed...anything boxing im into it..lets see how far Mr.Benn can take his boxing career, tons of competition where hes at..
Great video!!! Both come off really well, leaving the ego at the door and having fun
I love to see these crossover videos,I was a good amateur boxer in the 80s and my son is now a BJJ brown belt . I can make him dance to my tune boxing but less than a minute on the ground and I am toast
Respect mate for having mma class and trying something else!
Till always working with all types of fighters from england good to see

@@justcallfrank0089 Yeah!! he clearly would, I've done jujitsu for a while, if i can improve it's a no brainer that Conor would and improve a lot faster than me. I went from getting tapped every 30 seconds to ones or twice every 5 minutes, so that's 1 to 2 times per roll with different people in a couple of weeks, he would clearly be awesome at it if he gave grappling some of his time.

He will be an amazing boxer but MMA is a different ball game. It would probably take him like 3-4 year to get his wrestling and grappling down. Most of these MMA guys have been doing it in high school
Haha, loved watching this. Stay humble, clean the mats 🤣🤣
Conor you would definitely be A Beast in MMA!!!! You already have hands!!!! Keep it up!!! Big fan and Great channel
Nice to see a boxer appreciate grappling. As for the session being hard, for most people they would have been blowing out of their arse. Great natural grappling instincts 👌🏼

New subscriber here. Big fan of Till. Love your attitude so far and how open you are to learn and asking questions. Keep it up looking forward to seeing more of you in the future. PS Darren can't wrestle lol wait to you feel a real wrestler
MMA is a tough sport. Soo much to learn and the strength requirements are needed more due to the grappling involved.
Cool on Conor trying to learn, MMA itself is a beautiful sport.
Really interesting watch
Well done Connor. Put in the time now and you’ll be a beast in MMA. Wrestling and submission defence, kickboxing defence. Some Submission office and you’ll be great
Wow this is brilliant. These two should male a TV show and get Conor a professional mma fight. Film it all. It'll be amazing
