Just how bad was Darren Till’s weight cut ahead of this past week’s UFC Liverpool event? Bad enough that the welterweight slugger briefly lost vision during his attempt to trim a final 11 pounds the night before weigh-ins.

Irish bookmaker Paddy Power today released a fifth installment of “Behind the scenes with Darren Till at #UFCLiverpool,” and the short video shows dramatic and somewhat concerning clips of Till doing his best to shed a reported 5 kilograms (approximately 11 pounds) the night before UFC Fight Night 130’s official weigh-ins.

Till (17-0-1 MMA, 5-0-1 UFC), of course, was unable to make the welterweight limit, registering 174.5 pounds for his headlining bout with Stephen Thompson (14-3-1 MMA, 9-3-1 UFC) at this past Sunday’s event at Echo Arena in Liverpool, England. Thompson took the fight anyway, and Till was able to edge him out over the course of five rounds, taking home a contentious decision win.

While the Paddy Power video alludes to the “family emergency” that Till dealt with during the weight cut, no further details are revealed, other than that the fighter didn’t sleep on the night of weigh-ins, and that he underwent colonic hydrotherapy as a last resort before missing weight.

But the footage that is shown – Till struggling on the mitts, his power drained from the cut, Till crawling out of the sauna, Till admitting he can’t see – proves powerful, indeed. Can “The Gorilla” continue to put his body through moments like these, or is he better-suited to a middleweight move in the near future?

Check out the video above and decide for yourself.
