Till vs Gastelum & Sterling vs Edgar targeted for UFC 244

Breaking! Two massive fights targeted for UFC 244
The Octagon will return to Madison Square Garden in New York on November 2 for the promotions UFC 244 pay-per-view event.

While no official headliner has been named for the fight card, two massive bouts are apparently in the works for the event.
Darren Till is coming off a brutal knockout loss to Jorge Masvidal in his most recent Octagon appearance, which occured at March’s UFC event in London.

As for Kelvin Gastelum, the Kings MMA product is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Israel Adesanya at UFC 236, in a fight for the promotions interim middleweight title. That bout is considered to be the current front runner for “fight of the year”.


ESPN’s Ariel Helwani would later confirm that a middleweight fight between Darren Till and Kelvin Gastelum is being targeted for the UFC 244 fight card.
“In addition, hearing they are currently discussing Sterling v Edgar @ 135 for the same card. Preliminary stages.”

In addition to Gastelum vs. Till, Helwani also reported that the promotion is looking to set up a key bantamweight fight between Frankie Edgar and Aljamain Sterling for the November 2 event.

The former UFC lightweight champion, Frankie Edgar, announced he was moving to bantamweight after falling short in his bid to dethrone current UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway at UFC 240.

Meanwhile, Aljamain Sterling is currently on a four-fight win streak, his latest being a unanimous decision victory over Pedro Munhoz at UFC 238.

The promotion has made two bouts official for UFC 244 thus far.

Johnny Walker will meet Corey Anderson in a key light heavyweight bout, while heavyweights Derrick Lewis and Blagoy Ivanov are set to collide.

This a tough fight for Till's return. Gastelum is precision with power and I think he wins via KO.

Sterling and Edgar is interesting. Aljamain looked great his last time out.

fucking ridiculous matchmaking. dana himself has said they pushed Till too fast. so instead of matching him against the guy ranked 6/7, they chuck him in with one of the top guys. fucking mad. they are going to grind any remaining star power into dust. the pillocks.

I hate the Kelvin/Darren matchup. I would love to see it if they were both in nice win streaks and this was a number 1 contender fight, but these guys could both use a fight against a lower ranked guy to get their mojo back.

I love the Frankie/AlJo fight. I am a huge Edgar fan, but I was really hoping they wouldn’t accommodate the Henry call out for his first fight at 35. This is a great test to see if Sterling is ready for the big time and if Frankie is elite at the new weight class.

244 is shaping up well with these fights and now Usman vs Colby. This card will either be fantastic or a lot of methodical decisions because the technical level is so high. Weird to see a Serra guy vs an Almeida guy.
