Darren Till Won’t Rule Out Staying at 170 Pounds Following UFC 228 Defeat

Despite weight cut issues in the past, Darren Till might very well remain in the welterweight division his second round submission loss to Tyron Woodley in the UFC 228 headliner.

“The Gorilla” made weight without issue ahead of Saturday’s title bout at American Airlines Arena in Dallas, which came as a relief after Till tipped the scales at 174.5 pounds for his previous fight against Stephen Thompson in May. Till has mentioned mentioned eventually moving to middleweight in the past, but that would have a few fights after defending the 170-pound belt he expected to win.
