MMA fans are nuts. We watch two people fight in a steel cage in their underwear and then cheer them on.
However, a particular MMA fan took their fandom to a whole new level.
On Wednesday, UFC fan Jack Millard posted a picture of his new tattoo. It is Darren Till and Khamzat Chimaev, aka the ‘Smesh Bros.’
“Smesh bros completed,” Millard wrote on Twitter.

Till saw the portrait of himself and tweeted at Millard that it was an honor.
“What a fucking honour this was to see this today,” Till wrote.
Chimaev has yet to comment on the tattoo.
Of course, Millard got some backlash with the tattoo. The MMA community can be really toxic, and he, unfortunately, saw it first hand. So on Wednesday, Millard bashed the haters.
“its so funny how so many people are so upset by tattoos that are on my body not theirs, and instantly i must be homosexual because of a tattoo but theres thousands of Tyson and Ali tattoos floating round i just got some different ones @darrentill2@KChimaev,” Millard wrote.

Till returns to the octagon at UFC London next month when he faces Jack Hermansson. Till has been out of action since his submission loss to Derek Brunson last September.
Chimaev, on the other hand, is coming off a Fight of the Year contender with Gilbert Burns and is looking for his next fight.
