Kelvin is a straight badass but every time I see him I think of Nacho Libre ♂️ pic.twitter.com/uBV6c1Wdax

Agreed KG can’t seem to find range, Till doing a good job keeping space. https://t.co/Cnu9IBQcpR

The size advantage of Till is obvious. Will be interesting to see him compete at this weight moving forward. #ufc244

Super technical and smart fight by Till!! Kelvin is a hard style to fight and he just jumped the line in the 185lb div.
Also, how the hell did Darren Till ever make 170lb!!!! He looked a weight class bigger than Kelvin in there. #UFC244

30-27. 27-30. Classic mma judging. Close but thought Till won. Looks like he’s definitely in the right weight class. Solid win against a tough fighter and had to deal with issues getting to NYC. #UFC244
