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.

Lmaoo real shit
Hell naw before we are boxers we are fighters that mma shit don’t matter
@@joshuathornhill8168 wrong
Lol faxx
You don't realise how much of a big guy Darren Till is till something like this he is a big lad
Yeah and he actually used to cut to 170
Probs LHW
He walks around about 215 out of camp 😂 unit
He's massive isn't he can't believe he cut to 170
He's big but is he artful/skillful.. sasquatch
bro thats how you learn, he is a true student to the game, "what do I do here" no ego, just intuitive learning, always asking questions, wanting to be there, genuine, big up conor benn, also remembering this man is a beast and a master at his own sport
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.
He’s real like his dad
Everybody starts somewhere!
well if he would take time to learn it for like year he could take mma matches and for sure wouldnt get killed
@@saulosavolainen7447 he still would bro, MMA is a different ball game. But if he gave it a chance all props to him that takes balls
@@luketoohey5604 Uhh no he wouldn’t. He would do well with good takedown defense
So interesting to see Darren’s grappling and Jiu jitsu skills as we never get to see much of that. 👍
Till is at a much higher level in his game compared to Connor. Till is the real deal, dedicated and left for Brazil to learn his trade, quality fighter and lives the life of a fighter.
@@lakvindersingh4632 the double champ says different.
@@JSM26 I'm on about Connor Benn
finally a boxer that went in and gave it a go rather than, just saying they d "ko everyone" before they got near em!
Yep, that rubbish just stinks of "to scared to try" ...that logic is the same as a wrestler saying "a boxer would be on his back before he could throw his first punch"
@@markroyds23 there is a far higher chance of a wrestler taking a boxer down than a boxer one shotting everyone.
@@MegaSlayerr I dont think there is....who's to say the boxer can land that perfect punch...people.think one shot from.a boxer and it's done. Wrestler will just be careful with his entries and take them down.
@@markroyds23 i disagree, unless the skill gap is beyond big the wrestler more often then not will get the takedown and finish, don’t get me wrong it’s all ifs and buts. But that’s just my take on it
@@markroyds23 its much harder to 1 hit KO somone you lot are on drugs
Darren is a chill dude 😂
Darren Chill
I like how connor got stuck in with everyone, wasn’t just there to bowl about tills gym to make a cool video, genuinely seemed like he wanted to learn some shit
- spell check "Conor"
Darren's smile could light up a room...... Literally. Honestly he seems to be such a top lad though such an upbeat guy... So glad I found this channel, Connor is a beast. I could definitely see him in MMA
"Kaboom Gym" 😂😂
Great to see a boxer try out mma. Shows how much mma is respected now because u would never see this back in the day. Respect
You did see it back in the day with the gracie brothers and shamrock brothers from ufc 5 an onwards
@@danielmcdonald9917 no boxers would give mma respect
@@mmaboxingonly8008 yea I agree on that mma is hard graft
Size of Till 😂💪
Darren “me legs are humongous” till
@Don Alpha woodley didn't knock him out
@Don Alpha dosser
@Don Alpha he was weight drained
would of loved darren having a stand up spar with conor with head guards on... just to se what level darren would be in boxing....
My exact thoughts
Darren started with kickboxing
His athletic enough to be a class MMA fighter with the right people around him
Athleticism is 10%
Fair play to Connor no ego just in there learning good seeing a different side to Till to seem good lads
- spell check "Conor"
Sick video seeing the training from the inside like this
InstaBlaster...
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.
Conor Ben, you are a quality individual. Class act
American here, first time seeing Benn in a video like this. Seems like a very classy and down to earth individual.
More boxers need to experience this ! Really does show MMA is the absolute combat sport
@RICHARDSON yh ur right man no doubt boxing is art , boxers punch on another level technically to most MMA fighters
@@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.
@@tomhardy116 yh nah I agree especially lower levels boxing is way ahead of MMA in terms of skill but could be what u said it’s new in comparison
@Richardson thank you for saying that, mma is my life and I truly don’t understand how anyone thinks Nate is a good boxer it blows my mind
This guy looks like Kevin Lee’s brother
LOL
English long lost brother of Keith’s Lee
They guy sees holes in Darren Till's game

Great video. I’m a big fan of Darren and Connor. Both going to go on to do amazing things. World titles for both in the end
- spell check "Conor"
such a great content. so good. appreciate it
This was brilliant. Respects to both of you. Class.
Brilliant to see Conor. Keep it up I'd love to see more of this from you
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!
proper genuinely eager to learn and asking questions
Would love to see more of this! Great video, Darren and his community are awesome.
Been waiting on this 💪🏼keep these coming boss
Full respect conor. First time watching your chanel but on the back of this video ive subscribed
Humble you know, more so than I probably anticipated. Respect that
quality episode. Top athletes and genuine blokes! Really refreshing for combat sports
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
that was so awesome! pls sir can have some more? connor's every move reminds me of the great nigel benn, a blessed man.
Only true fight fans respect both boxing and mma (and all the parts that encompass it)
Love this insight from Nick. The endurance and focus comparative to boxing is on a whole new gradient in MMA.
Awesome watch. Different levels to each discipline
One of the best video's I've seen in a while.
Really interesting to watch
What a good video Respect for till since days and always and Connor what a humble legend. I remember coming from boxing to MMA.
This was great boys. We need even more stuff like this. Bring him in on spar days
Conor.. very Humble. Could see how much u enjoyed that session, fella.
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!
the wrestling part is the hardest to learn imo
@@MarcJanus Yes the hardest and most exhausting
mma fighters are on another levell to any other fight sport. i recon youd be a belter mma fighter with the right training go for it! jujitsu is humbling
@Samuel Astic these mma fighters and fans be talking out there ass
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
Damn, this is greatness in one video
One of the best vids I’ve seen in a while...💯🇬🇧
Great Video Conor. Thanks for sharing
Conor that transition to the back was smooth and very natural - well done! Keep coming
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💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Awesome Video both of you are excellent fighters. It would be good to see the outcome of this further down the road.
Such a humble pair of guys 💯
Love watching these two quality video
Always been a fan of till, an absolute lad and you can see you genuinely wants to help Connor, “true athlete” 👊🏼
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
Go on Ben... you're becoming a hell of a man, confident not cocky humble and down to earth.
Great video!!! Both come off really well, leaving the ego at the door and having fun
Your natural wrestling stance is actually pretty good! I hope you keep at grappling man!
Great vid mate 👍
sweet video...Darren sportin the "Dad Bod" between fights. ha ha ha
Great insight...Conor learning different techniques...respect son
Sick video Connor big fan
Really enjoyed that, I'd love to see a top boxer give MMA a real go! Darren Till's a fucking legend! Future Champ and Hall Of Famer for sure
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
Loved this vid! Cheers Vineers 😁
Conor you would definitely be A Beast in MMA!!!! You already have hands!!!! Keep it up!!! Big fan and Great channel
Till always working with all types of fighters from england good to see
Respect mate for having mma class and trying something else!
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 👌🏼
Awesome video. Was really hoping for a boxing spar between Benn and Till though!
Just subscribed...anything boxing im into it..lets see how far Mr.Benn can take his boxing career, tons of competition where hes at..
till is such a sound bloke id love to train with him would be a class session
Haha, loved watching this. Stay humble, clean the mats 🤣🤣
What a great attitude, good luck with your training
Great vid
Hell yeah🔥🔥🔥let’s go
I luv that video CLASS conor benn 💯💯💯💯
Great content bro
Great content! You'll be hitting 100k subs in no time
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
A great watch gotta respect mma
Love this, good on Connor to try and have fun w mma.
- spell check "Conor"
That's good work
Darren Tetley is a genuine nice person I met him in Manchester and he had the time to stop for a chat not having a clue who I was. LEGEND
Banging vid
Benn's a great guy and till, nice to see this
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
Good on you Conor you will learn a lot from the MMA game and it will make your body and mind stronger !.
Yo this is awesome. Don't know this cat before but I'm a fan now.
Conor, you have just gained a supporter
Quality vid
Definitely the right way to get started is with another natural striker. If Benn is coming over, I'd be very excited to see what Kaobon can do with him
MMA is a tough sport. Soo much to learn and the strength requirements are needed more due to the grappling involved.
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
Fair play to you Conor. It's a lot of info.
Defo more of this Connor, it will also get the mega views too
