Darren Till News

Tom Taylor - September 13, 2018

One of the big worries ahead of UFC 228 was that main event title challenger Darren Till might not make the 170-pound limit for his fight with welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. The Brit had missed weight previously, after all, most recently for his May welterweight bout with Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson. In the end, of course, Darren Till did even better than hit the 170-pound limit for welterweight title fights. He surpassed it, tipping the scales with a pound to spare at 169 pounds, instantly silencing his legions of doubters and skeptics.

A welterweight title fight featuring reigning champion Tyron Woodley defending his title against undefeated challenger Darren Till headlined tonight’s UFC 228 event in Dallas. Tyron Woodley (18-3-1 MMA) will compete for the first time since UFC 214 in July of 2017 when he defeated submission specialist Demian Maia via unanimous decision.

The octagon will return to Dallas, Texas tonight for the promotions UFC 228 pay-per-view fight card. The thirteen-bout event, which takes place Saturday September 8, is headlined by a welterweight title fight featuring current champion Tyron Woodley taking on undefeated contender Darren Till.

Perennial UFC welterweight contender Kamaru Usman may have served as the backup for tonight’s UFC 228 welterweight title fight, but it will be Colby Covington who gets to fight the winner of Darren Till vs. Tyron Woodley. The current UFC interim welterweight title holder, Colby Covington (14-1 MMA), will apparently be stripped of his title the moment the first strike is thrown in tonight’s UFC 228 main event.

This Saturday, in the main event of UFC 228, undefeated British contender Darren Till will battle Tyron Woodley for the UFC welterweight title — that is, if Till makes weight. Till has failed to make the welterweight division’s weight limit in the past, and heading into this fight with Woodley, there’s been widespread worry he’ll miss his mark again, which would make him illegible to win the title. In the opinion of Till’s nutritionist, Eoghan Gallagher, a protege of famed MMA nutritionist George Lockhart, there’s no cause for concern with respect with Till’s weight cut. Speaking to MMA Fighting at the UFC 228 fighter hotel in Dallas, Texas this week, Gallagher assured he’s “110 percent” sure Till will be on weight on this fight.

This weekend, in the main event of UFC 228, undefeated Brit Darren Till will attempt to swipe the UFC welterweight title from the waist of reigning champion Tyron Woodley. From the sounds of it, this could be one of Till’s final fights in the welterweight division. Though Till assures he will defend the title if he wins it at UFC 228, he also admits that a move to the 185-pound middleweight division is probably inevitable.

At UFC 228, which goes down on September 8 in Dallas, Texas, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley will attempt to defend his title against undefeated British contender Darren Till. Heading into this fight, the 25-year-old Darren Till has quite a bit of hype behind him. Tyron Woodley, however, isn’t worried.

Darren Till, who will battle Tyron Woodley for the UFC welterweight title at UFC 228 on September 8, is huge for the welterweight division. So huge that he appeared to dwarf Woodley when they met face to face at a press conference this month. Speaking at a media scrum earlier this week, Darren Till admitted that even he was a little surprised by how much he towered over the reigning welterweight champion.

Former two-time UFC welterweight title challenger Stephen Thompson suffered a controversial decision loss to Darren Till this past May in Liverpool. The loss did not sit well with “Wonderboy”, especially due to the fact that Darren Till missed weight by a large margin (3.5 pounds) for their marquee fight.

Over the last few days, there has been ample discussion about YouTube star Logan Paul potentially trying his hand at MMA, perhaps even in the UFC’s Octagon. Paul, to remind, recently competed in a high-profile boxing match with fellow YouTuber KSI, and apparently also has a respectable background in wrestling. Paul himself discussed the possibility on Twitter, explaining that he found the idea exciting.

Darren Till knows he’s in for a serious test when he takes on UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in the main event of UFC 228 on September 8. As most people know, Woodley is a world-class wrestler and ferocious puncher. In Till’s eyes, however, Woodley’s biggest strength is the mental side of his game.

Tom Taylor - August 29, 2018

On September 8, in the main event of UFC 228 in Dallas, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley will attempt to defend his title against undefeated contender Darren Till. At least, that’s the plan… As we’ve seen time and time again, no matchup is safe until the both fighters are locked in the cage. Factors like injuries, illness and weight-cut issues can derail planned fights mere hours before they happen.

The question on everyone's mind: How is @darrentill2's weight ahead of #UFC228? The answer: "It's sh*t."

Drake Riggs - August 27, 2018

The UFC welterweight champion of the world makes his return at UFC 228 on September 8. And in case his opponent can’t fight, a backup is on standby. The champion Tyron Woodley will look to defend his title against Darren Till in UFC 228’s main event. And a big question heading into this fight is ‘can Till make weight?’ as he missed for his last time out against Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson.
