Till, 29, has been Chimaev's sparring partner for several years, and therefore became a direct participant in the brawl.
"Everything was fine. We are fighters and we are constantly fighting, so everything is in order. I don't see anything special in this. Just a team for a team. They defended Nate, we defended Khamzat, two teams clashed - that's all.
If Khamzat and Holland start a skirmish, one of us will never be blown up - this is not our conflict. It wasn't like 30 people jumped on Kevin. I told Kevin to think about his fight, and he answered me: “Don’t tell me what to do,” Till said in an interview with The Mac Life.
