Kelvin Gastelum loses to big grapplers like Magny, Weidman

[AmericanBeauty]

so i am on Jacre for this fight.
Plus chael sonnen predicted Gastelum winning which gives me even more confidence

 

[TCanaveira]

Kinda feel like this fight is gonna look a little like Jacare vs Whittaker, but i could be wrong and Jacare could definitly win by sub.

I can see it going either way TBH.

Gastelums hands are no joke.

If Jacare can get him down, then game over.

It's a pick-em for me. Rooting for the Alligator though.

 

[Mr hanky]

I like Jacare a lot, but he looked slow & stiff recently. I think Gastelum will KO him somewhere in 2nd.

 

[Sole]

Jacare is growing his hair back.

It's all over for him now.

KG by KO within 2 rounds.

 

[3sumrock]

Magnum fight is a while ago.and kg prove that he can hang with good powerful wrestler like tim kennedy

 

[MMAProfessional]

I think if Jacare uses his striking the will fair a lot better then he did when he fought Whittaker.

 

[TDD]

The only reason he has success is because he is talented, he is way outsized against any MW, he makes Whittaker look like a big MW. But i knew there is limits to it. Facing a grappler which is also much bigger then him makes him almost chanceless, but guys that will stand with him then he has a good chance, he really should get his act together and go down to WW, i think he has a chance against anyone at 170. I see Jacare winning this one, probably get outworked but not submitted.

With Kelvin’s hand speed/power, and having seen Jacare get dropped, I think he’ll be walking out with some new gators and belt.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Gastelum keeps it standing and sparks Jacare

 

[spooNN]

If Jacare has trouble trying to get it to the ground I think Kelvin in going to light him up and probably get the TKO win. I have it 60/40 for Kelvin.

 

[Fedor_Silva]

Kelvin has heavy hands, but I think his striking game is much predictable. Jacare is old and a littler slower, though. Alligator by sub, 1st round.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Big grapplers like Tim Kennedy

 

[Lissove]

Whittaker got taken down by Jacare. Lucky he escaped. Now if Jacare takes Gas down....

 

[LockardTheGOAT]

Gastelum slipped out of Weidman's grasp on the ground and then dropped him and nearly had him finished moments later.

He has a good chance against anyone in the division. Jacare is going to sleep.

 

[furtherman]

Dana White screwed Jacare by not given him the titleshot when he was younger. White is not properly the most ethical man on the planet...anyway, Jacare still has good chances to sub Gastelum or even tko him with a high kick.

You know whats different here though?

Those big grapplers also had a 6 and 8 inch reach advantage.

Jaracre has a 0 inch reach advantage.

This means all Kelvin has to do is keep this fight at the end of his punches, which he is great at doing when hes not at a huge reach dissadvantage.

Kelvin by KO, left cross.
