Brendan Schaub feels Darren Till sounds like "he needs a mental coach"
Brendan Schaub has some advice for Darren Till after his fight at UFC 282. In a recent video uploaded to Thiccc Boy, Schaub discussed the matchup between Till and Dricus du Plessis which took place on December 10.
According to 'Big Brown', it was the mental hurdles that came in the way of Till's performance inside the octagon. Brendan Schaub added that 'The Gorilla' might need to see a mental coach in order to get his MMA career back on track:
"The first round looked awful [for Till]... He was getting molly-whopped. He got beat up so bad that du Plessis kind of wastes his gas tank... [In the second round] it showed a little bit of, I don't wanna say vintage Darren Till because the vintage Darren Till, 'The Gorilla', would have starched du Plessis in that second round... Darren Till's thing is mental. It's all mental... Sounds like he needs a mental coach. Who knows? I feel for the guy. I'm rooting for him."
