Edwards, 30 years old, seems to have beaten Till's hand at TK MMA & Fitness gym.

Both fighters were happy after the contest, and they smiled in a selfie by Till, a Liverpool-born 28-year-old.

The photo was shared by the 23-4 fighter on Instagram, and many fans were happy to see the pair together.

One Instagram user wrote, "It's so cute to see the lads get along."

Another addition: "Both Champs Soon."

Another said, "Wholesome."

Both fighters are taking some time off after their fights this summer.

Till lost to Derek Brunson September, but Edwards has been steadily improving his standings this year. He most recently defeated Nate Diaz UFC champion in June.

He is now 23-3. His last loss was six years ago, to Kamaru Usman, an undefeated fighter who is arguably the best in the UFC.
