Two of Sherdog's judges even gave round 1 to Weidman.
Chris Weidman vs. Kelvin Gastelum
Round 1
Veteran referee "Big" John McCarthy is the third man in the cage for tonight's 185-pound main event, with judges Sal D'Amato, Jeff Mullen and Cardo Urso scoring the bout. Weidman opens with an inside leg kick as Gastelum stands tall, his arms raised high to fend off the advances of the taller man. Gastelum presses forward with an outstretched lead hand, moving Weidman backward toward the fence. As soon as Weidman shoots, however, Gastelum is on the ground, turtling up as the "All-American" spins to take the back. Gastelum powers back to his feet, Weidman still hanging off his back. Weidman rides him back to the mat and lands in side control on Gastelum's left side with half the round remaining. Weidman straddles Gastelum's head and works to set up a kimura, but Gastelum is grabbing his own trunks to keep his right arm out of danger. Weidman overcommits to the kimura, allowing Gastelum to rise and escape the submission attempt. With 10 seconds on the clock, Gastelum steps forward and blasts Weidman with a tremendous left hand. Weidman sits up and clings to a leg, barely surviving to the horn as Gastelum pounds his skull with hammerfists.

Round 2
After a slow opening minute to the round, Weidman gets hold of Gastelum and jams him against the fence. Weidman drops for an ankle pick and then spins to take Gastelum's back. Weidman starts working for a rear-naked choke with one hook in, but he loses the position as Gastelum powers back to his feet. Weidman ragdolls Gastelum back to the mat and now throws left hands from the rear. Back up comes Gastelum... and back down again as Weidman stays clung to his legs and completes another takedown. Weidman postures up in Gastelum's closed guard and puts a few elbows on the face of the smaller man. The pace slows in the final minute of the round as Gastelum ties up from the bottom, not leaving Weidman much room to strike. Weidman takes the back of the kneeling Gastelum just before time expires.

Round 3
Gastelum comes out swinging but runs into a counter right hand from Weidman, who tries to snatch the neck of his dropped opponent as Gastelum stands up. Gastelum frees his neck and sticks a hard jab on Weidman's face. Weidman complains of an eye poke, gets no no reprieve from the ref, and now charges forward to ding Gastelum with long right hands. Gastelum denies a single-leg from the wrestler, but Weidman pushes him to the fence and drops to try a double. Weidman completes the shot with three minutes remaining but can't keep Gastelum on the mat. Back on the feet, Weidman throws knees at Gastelum from a rear waistlock before hurling him back to the floor. Gastelum kneels and Weidman spins to the back once again, setting both hooks and going to work on a choke with two minutes left. Gastelum rolls over and narrowly prevents a mount, but Weidman has an arm-triangle setup if he can put Gastelum's shoulders on the mat. Weidman flattens him out and bears down on the choke, and it looks extremely tight. Gastelum resists for as long as he can but is ultimately forced to tap out. The New York crowd goes berserk for their local fighter, as Chris Weidman snaps a three-fight losing streak with an emphatic finish.
