Video chronicles Darren Till’s brutal weight cut before UFC Liverpool

Darren Till missed weight last weight by 3-1/2 pounds. But certainly not from lack of trying.

Till’s weight cut ahead of his fight with Stephen Thompson at UFC Liverpool was chronicled in a video released Thursday by his sponsor Paddy Power. Till can be seen unable to stand up in sauna. And at one point he told his coaches he could not see, prompting them to stop the weight-cutting process.

Till, who ended up winning the fight Sunday by close unanimous decision, worked out in a sauna suit the night before weigh-ins, working up a sweat to dehydrate and shed pounds.
