Darren Till jumped at the occasion to bash Bo Nickal after UFC 309.
Nickal (7-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) was successful in his toughest test to date against Paul Craig (17-9-1 MMA, 9-9-1 UFC) on Saturday’s main card at Madison Square Garden but saw the judges’ scorecards for the first time in what was a lackluster affair.
Till’s attack on Nickal isn’t out of nowhere. The pair traded barbs in September 2022 after Till challenged Nickal to a fight. Nickal laughed off his callout, criticizing him for getting outgrappled by Derek Brunson.
Till is no longer on the UFC roster, but he let Nickal know what he thought of his performance.
“The ginger ninja doesn’t even fight. Talks more than me and I talk a lot. #GingerNinja He even sh*t talks me and hasn’t beat an opponent who’s record is a winning one. Proper ginger ninja. Yes his wrestling is good but his striking is appalling and his cooking videos make me want to stab myself to death. Proper ginger ninja.”

Nickal also previously took aim at Till’s good friend Khamzat Chimaev by calling his wrestling trash. Till came to the defense of his training partner.
“Guy has talked so much sh*t. Sh*t talked me since he came the UFC like I haven’t fought and beat top guys in there. Be more humble ya ginger tool cos ur sh*t and Khamzat would destroy you.”

Nickal took umbrage with Daniel Cormier saying he wasn’t ready for Chimaev during the UFC 309 commentary, which Till defended.
“Where is the lie? Ginger nuts isn’t ready for Khamzat.”
