You think Paulo Costa is a big MW ? Here is him next to Darren Till

Wow. Darren Till's weight cut is criminal. I heard he cut down from 205-210 pounds, but I didn't believe it ... although he looked huge against Wonderboy, who isn't a small 170 pounder.

Johny Hendricks use to walk around at 220 when he was champ. Woodley also walks around at 200-210

Was that the reason he didn't make weight against Wonderboy???

Yeah, seemingly he was losing the last few kilos and he got a call that his girlfriend had gone into labour early, went to the hospital, then was up on the morning of the fight - I'm sure you seen the video - cutting weight and had to stop.

I don't think he went into Chiesa mode and said it was 100 per cent the reason why, but he outlined that there was an emergency and he had to attend to it. If you remember, he wasn't at the press conference in Vegas for a family emergency, but not sure if that had anything to do with his kid/girlfriend.

No I haven't seen the video, but if that was the reason, why did he and Dana not say it more clearly? There is definitely no shame in that.

Anyway, it was not the first time he had problems with weight cuts. If he misses more time or if he fails to capture the title I believe he'll have to return to MW.

They've deleted the video. It's just Till in a heap walking to the sauna being held up by two lads, laying under a load of duvets and on the ground at various moments looking like he passed out. It was a bit of a disturbing watch and daft to release it I thought.

I think he said it at the post fight press conference, but it's a personal thing he maybe didn't want to go into detail about too much. I didn't read or hear if his girlfriend had the baby or what the follow up story was.

Yeah, I think now he has a bit more of a spotlight on him, if he misses weight the next time he'll move up or he may have being told he needs to move up. But after beating Thompson, I reckon he has another fight and then a title shot. Maybe Till is in Vegas to try and convince the UFC he wants to stay at WW.

There is a handful of 55ers that start their cuts from mid 190s so id believe it.

But he couldn’t even beat up WB. He actually probably lost that fight if it wasn’t for the crowd.

What you say is true,,,, But nobody at middleweight has movement and defense like Wonderboy....

I think Till has great fights at MW and might do well enough to contend. He certainly would fill out more and prolly not sacrifice much speed in doing it.
 
Tills double bicep flex shows he’s trying to hard.
 
The more I see of Till and how enourmous he is next to any other fighter, the more I loathe him.

That fight win against Wonderboy should have been a spotlight for him, but for me, and what I see in general, it did nothing for him and just put focus on his extreme weight cutting.

Fuck that guy.
 
50-45, GSP over the GorTilla.

He is huge though.
 
Taking pictures besides Costa is bad for your self-esteem.

Even though he is showing some darkness under his eyes, it's probably from being up one week straight banging big assed brazilian girls non-stop.
 
He looks taller but Costa is much more muscular, Till has the frame to build up tho.

Woodley cuts from 190 lbs.

Walk around weight =/= cage weight.
