Visa issue delays Darren Till’s UFC 244 arrival, Jared Cannonier on standby

UFC middleweight Darren Till will miss two UFC 244 press events on account of a visa issue that delayed his trip to New York City.

Till’s issue was recently resolved, according to a person with knowledge of his whereabouts, but he won’t arrive until Friday for the official and ceremonial weigh-ins. The person requested anonymity because the news had not been confirmed by the UFC. A request to Till’s management firm, MTK Global, wasn’t immediately returned.

Till is scheduled to face Kelvin Gastelum in the co-main event of Saturday’s pay-per-view event at Madison Square Garden.
