UFC 228: 3 Interesting things that happened at the Weigh-in which you need to know

#2 The Ironic Towel

here were a lot of shots from Woodley's fans that Till would not be able to make the weight and fail to take part in the Championship fight

Tyron Woodley has talked a lot of trash leading into the fight against Darren Till. There were a lot of shots from Woodley's fans that Till would not be able to make the weight and fail to take part in the Championship fight.

Unfortunately for Woodley, the shoe was on the other foot; or in this case, the towel. The towel is used by officials during weigh-ins to cover up the UFC star in case they fail to make the weight the first time with their underwear on. Then they need to retake their weight this time without their underwear. The towel is held up to protect their dignity.

While Woodley looked extremely cocky heading into the weigh-in, all of that was replaced by alarm when he weighed in at 171 pounds on the first try, a pound over what he needed to weigh to face Till and make the Championship match.

He had to retake his weight behind the towel, and the sigh of relief from both him and his fans was audible when he made the weight at 170 pounds.

It was not the only time of the night that the towel was needed, with Zabit Magamedsherapov also needing it to make the weight.
