While fans have long speculated that Darren Till will eventually outgrow the welterweight division, “The Gorilla” himself finally seems to be plotting a move to 185 pounds -- but not just yet.
Till, a gigantic welterweight who has a history of failed weight cuts at 170 pounds, nonetheless made weight without issue for the biggest fight of his career, when he challenged Tyron Woodley for the Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight title at UFC 228 last September. However, that night saw Till completely outclassed by the champ, landing zero significant strikes before submitting to a second-round brabo choke.
