Although Tiller is unaware what a loss is, he is confident of maintaining a goose egg in his record.
“I don’t have pressure,” he said. “A fight is a fight. I hope I don’t lose. They say everyone has to lose. I train to win so there’s no extra pressure.”
Tiller’s most wins have come by way of submission, but he says he is more of a stand up guy than a ground fighter.
“I am never searching for the knockout,” he said. “That’s successful for me. In my amateur career I had knockout, but I focused on my ground game cause I lost two fights back to back (by submission). I A. good everywhere. I consider a stand up fighter a lot of people don’t because of my record.”
He credits his mother for being successful and practice MMA on a professional level.
“My mom would tell me what ever you love find it and dedicate your time to it,” he said. “It was the calling.”
