Till failed to make the welterweight limit as he weighed in at 174.5 pounds, which was 3.5 pounds over the weight limit for non-title welterweight bouts. The bout proceeded at catchweight, and 'The Gorilla' ended up beating Thompson via unanimous decision. Speaking to ESPN MMA regarding his teammate Khamzat Chimaev's recent weight debacle, Darren Till recalled his own horrifying weight cut incident leading up to the bout with 'Wonderboy'. Till suggested that he was about three pounds over the 171-pound weight limit ahead of the Thompson matchup and had just one hour to make weight.

'The Gorilla' highlighted that he then resorted to a treatment known as colonic irrigation, a.k.a., colon cleansing/colonic hydrotherapy. Till stated: "I said to my coaches, 'Take me to the place where they suck air from your rectum.' It's called colonic irrigation. I said, 'This is our last hope. Let's try and lose a pound, two pounds.' I had three pounds to go or something. So, we did. We went there, and I'd done it. I was in so much pain, agony. And we did it. And it sucks water into you and sucks it out. That's how it works, colonic irrigation." The 29-year-old claimed that since he was already severely dehydrated, his body held on to the water that entered him via the colonic irrigation treatment. Till indicated that he failed to efficiently cut down to the 171-pound weight limit and ultimately weighed in at 174.5 lbs.
