In a very technical striking match, Robert Whittaker recovered from his loss to Israel Adesanya with a unanimous decision victory over Darren Till UFC Fight Island 3: ‘Whittaker vs. Till’. On Twitter, pro fighters enjoyed the contest.
Darren is a fighter with a complete skill set and he has a good fight IQ but idk if his matches Robert Whittaker’s. This fight excites me. I think Whittaker has the highest Fight IQ in the game.

Or maybe I’ll go beat up these little guys at middleweight. What’s a fight you guys would like to see? #UFCFightIsland3

Both men having their moments, but it seemed Till scored a knock down so I’d have to edge him for the 1st. #UFCFightIsland3

Till keeps coughing, he might have the rona, I'm just saying. #UFCFightIsland3

Yo, is Till coughing ?
— Olivier Aubin (@oliaubin) July 26, 2020
That's not socially acceptable, BTW.
Sneaky elbows from Whittaker! #UFCFightIsland3

Sorry to say this because I respect the guy but Whittaker don’t look the same as before the Romero’s fight. Timing is off.

Till doing a good job with distance control but he is fading off a bit #UFCFightIsland3
Would love to see some body work from both sides

There’s no possibility those both guys were training during quarantine. I don’t believe that. Fuck ugly fight pic.twitter.com/KEs9oVUH4M

I still wanna fight Till one day.
— Israel Adesanya (@stylebender) July 26, 2020
His striking is beautiful.
Stay up Darren!
Having shared the octagon with both those guys...the mental aspect of the fights is almost a grueling as the physical. Constantly have to be on your toes entire 25 mins. Great win @robwhittakermma #UFCFightIsland3

Really loved this main event tonight. Both Whitaker & Till looked solid tonight. Technical fight mixed in with some nice offense, footwork, counters and adjustments.
