“Sorry to everyone let down by my performance. Tonight I just couldn’t put it together! Love all of you anyway and I promise you that I will be back better. Only way to go is up! God bless you all.”

As for Till, he is back in the win column after making his 185-pound debut. It will be interesting to see who the Englishman is matched up with next after taking out a top contender in Gastelum. The middleweight division is full of exciting fights and matchups for “The Gorilla,” who has proven to be one of the best strikers under the Las Vegas-based mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion’s banner.
