As you get older the cut gets harder not easier.

The Liverpudlian formerly competed at welterweight, but after a number of gruelling cuts to the division&#8217;s 170-pound limit, he moved up to the 185-pound middleweight division. He made his debut in this new division at UFC 244 last month, and with excellent results, defeating top-5 contender Kelvin Gastelum by decision.<\/p>\n<p>While Till is evidently quite worried about Aldo&#8217;s move to bantamweight, not all fighters feel that way. Aldo&#8217;s former foe Conor McGregor also took to Twitter to comment on the topic, and argued the total opposite point from Till&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I disagree here.
