Darren Till, Who Is To Face Kelvin Gastelum At UFC 244, Is Dealing With Visa Issues

First, Nate Diaz decided he wasn't going to deal with USADA drug testing and was pulling out of UFC 244's main event. Now that Diaz is on-board and set to face Jorge Masvidal, UFC officials are dealing with another issue.

Darren Till, a former UFC title contender, is having visa issues on his way to New York City for Saturday's event from Madison Square Garden. According to a report by MMA Fighting, Till will not arrive in the U.S. until Friday for weigh-ins, missing several press events.

The issue with his visa stems from an arrest in Spain earlier this year. Till was taken into custody after trashing a hotel room and stealing a taxi, though he denies any wrongdoing over the matter.

UFC officials have brought in Jared Cannonier to serve as a possible replacement to keep Gastelum on the card.
