Kelvin Gastelum welcomes Darren Till to middleweight at UFC 244

Former interim title contender Kelvin Gastelum will welcome Darren Till to the middleweight division when they clash at UFC 244 in New York on Nov. 2.

UFC officials confirmed the fight on Monday following an initial report from ESPN.

Till has been teasing a potential move to 185 pounds for over a year but he seemed hesitant to change divisions while he was still near the top of the welterweight rankings.

In his last fight, Till suffered a second-round knockout courtesy of Jorge Masvidal but now he’ll make the move up to middleweight where he won’t be going through a severe weight cut before every fight.
