The fighter has had issues making weight through his UFC run and Till?s coach in Colin Heron explains why the misses keep happening.
?The obvious answer is, ?He has a tough weight cut and needs to go up,? correct?? Heron told ESPN. ?What people don?t see is the lifestyle between fights. It?s hard for me to make correct decisions, until I see a fighter, especially Darren, walking around lean between fights. Here?s the problem with Darren Till, and it?s no secret: He eats sh-t. As disciplined as he is in the gym, between fights, he will eat the most amount of sh-t you?ve ever seen in your life.?
Till has acknowledged in the past that a move up to middleweight will most likely happen in the future.
Heron knows that a move to middleweight is also a possibility, but is also concerned with what Till may do to himself if that happens.
?The fact of the matter is he will probably be a middleweight, but whether it?s now or later, I don?t know,? he said. ?My only concern is he goes up to middle(weight), and that will give him the license to eat more. Then we end up with just as big of a cut, but with bigger consequences in the actual fight."
There is no word yet on when Till may compete again, as the fighter is currently in the midst of a two fight losing streak.
