Darren Till was hyped as the next big thing at welterweight, but ‘The Gorilla’ came up short when he fought Tyron Woodley for the welterweight title in 2018, losing via second-round submission in the UFC 228 main event.
To derail the hype train further, Till suffered a devastating knockout loss to Jorge Masvidal in his rebound fight at UFC Fight Night London, and many fans began to lose hope in the Liverpudlian.
Till soon put those doubts to rest when he returned to the Octagon against Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 244, edging out a split decision win over the former interim title challenger in his middleweight debut.
