UFC 228: Darren Till weighs in under welterweight limit, but Tyron Woodley forced to strip naked to make championship weight
The American champion was forced to remove his boxers after weighing in at 171lbs initially - a pound over the scheduled welterweight limit
Darren Till left fans gobsmacked by comfortably weighing in ahead of his huge UFC welterweight title fight against Tyron Woodley, but the same cannot be said for the current champion.
The American was left looking perplexed on stage as he initially weight in at 171lbs - just one pound over the championship weight ahead of their huge clash in Las Vegas on Sunday morning.
As a result, Woodley was forced to remove his boxers to make the 170lbs limit - with only a towel wrapped around him to protect his modesty.
Much of the pre-fight talk has been focused on Till's weight, with the Scouser failing to make weight for two of his six UFC fights. However, he silenced critics who said he is too big for a welterweight by flashing two middle fingers up to the crowd.
In fact, for his last fight at UFC Liverpool, Till weighed in three pounds over the limit and was allegedly a whopping 187.3lbs for the fight itself.
This time around however, he coasted into the arena and remained clam on the scales - weighing in at 169lbs at the first time of asking.
The fight promises to be an intriguing affair, with experts struggling to pick a winner for the contest.
Till is currently tearing through the welterweight division, and has earned his title shot after convincingly knocking out Donald Cerrone last year before a unanimous decision win over Thompson.
