Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Darren Until and reducing weight have an advanced relationship.
Issues first arose in Until’s third UFC combat means again in 2017, when he missed the 170-pound restrict by by a whopping six kilos reverse Jessin Ayari. A yr later, the state of affairs grew extra extreme, as Until misplaced imaginative and prescient whereas reducing weight for his UFC Liverpool foremost 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 didn’t make weight in his 4 185-pound UFC bouts, so it stands to cause that he shouldn’t have a problem 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 severe weight acquire 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 size sporting denims instantly after a salty meal, as a result of that’s a major quantity of weight to drop! It may be executed, however it’s crucial that Until goes about it appropriately and works with a talented crew. Botched weight cuts have killed fighters, and earlier this yr, a Bellator athlete was induced right into a coma after extreme dehydration throughout her weight lower.

This can be a nice match up. Grant Dawson has regarded actually sharp in his final couple wins, however Carlos Diego Ferreira has made a profession as a wonderful spoiler.
