UFC 228’s Darren Till: I was ‘significantly bigger’ than Tyron Woodley during faceoff

It’s no secret that Darren Till is one of, if not the, biggest welterweight fighters on the UFC roster.

The Liverpool-born talent cuts massive amounts of weight to make the 170-pound limit and has weighed in heavy in two out of six bouts under the UFC banner.

‘The Gorilla’ was several pounds overweight in his most recent outing at UFC Fight Night Liverpool and was forced to forfeit 30 percent of his purse to Stephen Thompson, who he beat via decision in the main event.

Till’s size advantage over Thompson wasn’t too noticeable in the cage, but the 25-year-old was a ‘little bit’ surprised with just how much he towered over Tyron Woodley at the UFC’s 25th Anniversary press conference in August.
