UFC welterweight contender Darren Till missed the 170-pound mark by 3.5 pounds during his headliner fight against Stephen Thompson last May. Nonetheless, he was granted the opportunity to challenge Tyron Woodley for the welterweight title at UFC 228.
This kind of situation does not sit well with the likes of middleweight champion Robert Whittaker, who never had problems about making weight.
“It’s like me going down to bantamweight, not making weight, winning because I’m much bigger and then getting a title shot,” Whittaker said during a TUF 28 media luncheon on Monday (via MMA Fighting).
