At UFC 244, Darren Till will be making his return to the Octagon but this time at a different weight class, as The Gorilla is set to make his highly awaited debut at Middleweight against former interim Middleweight Title contender Kelvin Gastelum.

Till, who is on the back of two losses in the UFC, will look to end his losing streak, as he gets set for a clash against Gastelum. As far as the latter is concerned, Gastelum last competed at UFC 236 when he lost to Israel Adesanya in a back-and-forth fight that ended via split decision.

As for Michael Johnson, the veteran fighter will be returning to the Octagon in Singapore and for his next fight, Johnson will be returning to the Lightweight division. Johnson will face Stevie Ray for his next bout in the Octagon which takes place at UFC on ESPN+ 20.
