UFC fighters Khamzat Chimaev and Darren Till, also known as ’The Smesh Bros’, have quickly become the most popular duo in the MMA world.
Now, former middleweight title challenger Marvin Vettori has challenged both Till and Chimaev – seemingly looking to fight the duo back-to-back.
”The Italian Dream” was set to fight former middleweight champ Robert Whittaker this summer. However, the Australian was forced out of the bout due to an injury, leaving Vettori without an opponent for UFC 275 on June 12.
”We’re back at this. I think I’m the only 185:er that can say that has never pulled out of a fight, but anyway Smash Boys, I’ll get you back to back. Let’s do it, I’m willing to die, just show up”, Vettori writes on Twitter.

Khamzat Chimaev just fought and beat Gilbert Burns in a thrilling welterweight contest that saw the Swede propel to a no. 3 spot on the official rankings. ”Borz” seems to have no plans on fighting in middleweight at the moment, instead looking for a shot at the welterweight strap in the near future.
Darren Till, an active middleweight, last fought Derek Brunson in September, losing the bout by submission in the very first round. ”The Gorilla” seems to be a wanted man at the moment, as he’s been challenged by Swedish top contender Jack Hermansson and ”Knockout of the Year”-winner Joaquin Buckley just in the last weeks.
