1 - 5 and headlining a UFC card

[El Fernas]

Yeah you can since he is 2-3 in his last 5.

Can't argue this.

My bad, i accidentally included the boxing fight instead of just keeping it MMA, 1-3 in recent years.

Gastelum has won 1 of his past 6 fights, and lost his past 2 fights. This losing streak is not that uncommon, the fact that he is headlining an UFC card, is unprecedented. No other fighter has headlined a card with a streak like this. He has won 3 of his past 10 fights. Name recognition, Mexican fan base, exciting style, Sherdogish hairline....why???

It's definitely the hairline. Makes prime Condit proud.

I swear I didn't even know he's headlining the next card. Completely ignored everything leading up to the Brazil PPV.

Eh, I like Kelvin though his performances since the Izzy fight have all disappointed. Hope he does his thing and gets a win.

Silva was on a 2 fight loosing streak when he headlined against hall and was going 1-6-1nc in his last 8

 

[pick999]

Is this how weak ufc is now?

 

[Thesnake101]

They want to squeeze all the juice they can out of Kelvin to build other guys up before sending him to PFL.

 

[sdpdude9]

He lost to Darren Till who's been shit on by everyone else. There's no potential. Stop dreaming

At just 27 years old he gave Adesanya his toughest test at Middleweight besides Pereira. He definitely had potential.

 

[VanMMA]

I don't think he should be headlining.

Gas hasn't lived up to his potential. Very skilled but he's fighting at the wrong class. Disappointing.

Honestly kelvin should be demoted back to prelims but ufc gonna ufc

 

[ultra321]

Nah, you have to give him some credit for some decent wins. Beat Poirier, Holloway, Mendes, Aldo, Diaz, Alvarez....all decent wins by any standards.

squeaked by Diaz in the 2nd fight after losing to him, Aldo and Alvarez he got lucky, beat Poirier and Holloway pushing a decade ago and has nothing for either one of them now... Mendes was a decent win at the time but arguably never a top 10 fighter

I don't think he should be headlining.

Yep, would be a contender at 170#.

They did a bunch of funny videos for the MMA awards one year

How have I never seen these before? Lolol

 

[Lee_]

• Nassourdine Imavov vs. Kelvin Gastelum
• Geoff Neal vs. Shavkat Rakhmonov
• Punahele Soriano vs. Roman Kopylov
• Dan Ige vs. Damon Jackson

Who are these people?!?!

 

[Lee_]

Yeah UFC and these diluted cards- really sad. Not enough talent to fill them- maybe try paying better?

 

[marvinparsons]

I don't have a massive problem as he has name value and he's usually exciting. And isn't washed up. He's at least capable of putting on a great fight unlike say Sean Strickland.

I wish he'd get back down to 170 though with a proper diet. He only lost two SD's at 170.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

another funny mma awards vid

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Totally and 100% agree TS.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Cover your mouth..

Straight up. That’s a 3 dressed up as a 9. Either you have class or you don’t.
