Darren Till has stunned fans with his physical transformation as he prepares for his middleweight debut at UFC 244.

The Brit is moving up to the 185lbs division to take on Kelvin Gastelum at Madison Square Garden on November 2 in New York City.

Till’s weight cutting to the welterweight limit during the early part of his UFC career were legendary, even missing weight for his fight against Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson in May 2018.

In fact, so draining was the process to get down to 170lbs, the 26-year-old even revealed he went blind at times and nearly died.

After back-to-back losses at welterweight to Tyron Woodley and Jorge Masvidal, a move up a division seemed the best thing for ‘The Gorilla’.

When the 26-year-old was asked if he was pushed to do too much too soon in his career, he said no.

“I know I’m a better fighter than Woodley. I know I’m a better fighter than Masvidal, but those two were better than me on the night and that’s just the way the cookie crumbles,” he said before reaffirming his belief he would eventually become a UFC world champion.

And it seems Till is living up to his Gorilla nickname if his latest training footage is anything to go by.

Training out of Kaobon Gym in Liverpool, Till is working extensively under trainer Colin Heron to add size to his six foot frame.

Upcoming foe Gastelum has also experienced a move up in weight class, having been a career welterweight early on.

The move up paid dividends as he stopped former UFC middleweight Michael Bisping en route to losing an enthralling interim title fight to Israel Adesanya in March.
