Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Darren Until and slicing weight have a sophisticated relationship.
Issues first arose in Until’s third UFC combat manner again in 2017, when he missed the 170-pound restrict by by a whopping six kilos reverse Jessin Ayari. A 12 months later, the scenario grew extra extreme, as Until misplaced imaginative and prescient whereas slicing weight for his UFC Liverpool important occasion versus Stephen Thompson. Until would compete at Welterweight twice extra after the “Wonderboy” scrap, however consecutive losses would ship him as much as Middleweight.
Until by no means did not make weight in his 4 185-pound UFC bouts, so it stands to purpose that he shouldn’t have a difficulty making 190-pounds in his skilled boxing debut reverse Tommy Fury. That match is scheduled for a Misfits Boxing occasion on Sat., Jan. 18, 2025 from Manchester, United Kingdom, which means it’s a number of days shy of 9 weeks away.
That’s loads of time for a coaching camp, however Until revealed some critical weight achieve on the press convention. Talking to Ariel Helwani on Wednesday (Nov. 20, 2024), Until revealed he’s ballooned as much as 253 kilos. In abstract, he has roughly 8.5 weeks to chop an enormous 63 kilos.
I’m hoping for Until’s sake he stepped onto the dimensions sporting denims instantly after a salty meal, as a result of that’s a big quantity of weight to drop! It may be performed, but it surely’s essential that Until goes about it accurately and works with a talented staff. Botched weight cuts have killed fighters, and earlier this 12 months, a Bellator athlete was induced right into a coma after extreme dehydration throughout her weight minimize.

This can be a nice match up. Grant Dawson has appeared actually sharp in his final couple wins, however Carlos Diego Ferreira has made a profession as a superb spoiler.
Out with the previous guard, in with the brand new. Add Joaquin Buckley to this checklist!
