Darren Till was questioned for taking such a dangerous fight after crushing back-to-back defeats. But “The Gorilla” is starting to live up to his nickname.
The Englishman is moving up to middleweight and will take on No 2-ranked Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 244 at Madison Square Garden on November 2.
And Till looks noticeably bulkier in training photos released on his Instagram account, with the 185-pound weight limit a seemingly much more natural fit.

“M************ tunnel vision,” Till wrote in the caption for the post. “MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.”

The 26-year-old is looking to bounce back from a brutal KO by Jorge Masvidal in March. That defeat came on the back of a submission by then-welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. The losses prompted UFC president Dana White to admit in June that the UFC pushed Till “a little too soon”, making the match-up with Gastelum seems a little curious.
