Kelvin Gastelum should be applauded. He is “old school”.

[VERBAL-FEDOR]

He is undersized, out of shape and still willing to take the fight to much bigger guys. Guys who cut weight from 210 or more to have the physical advantage on smaller men. A technique that was pioneered by Titi Ortiz because he was too scared to fight HWs his own size.

Kelvin has a Fedoresque quality to him and I am surprised he is not more revered around here. He walks in the cage, gut out and guns blazing.

I hope he stays at MW and becomes champ.

I love Kelvin and hope he becomes MW champ as well.

Kelvin isn’t old school. The only reason he is fighting at MW is because he can’t reliably make WW. Simply put Kelvin is a MW.

He has a unique body, I'm not surprised he struggles to make 170, not sure it's just a discipline thing.

Massive head and torso.

In what world is this being out of shape?

Anderson should be thankful he dodged a bullet with Kelvin.

Must be, I mean being able to go 3 rounds vs Jacare and win = out of shape.

If it wasn't for Whittaker, i'd be rooting for Gastelum to become champ. Hopefully Whittaker beats Romero as Whittaker v Gastelum is a great matchup.

hes the one that keeps insisting on going to 170 and kept making weight...... so it aint as if he didnt try to have that same type of advantage as some other weight cutters.

 

[lsa]

Yeah because thats how he shows up to fights....

Kelvin woulda weidman'd the shit out of anderson all over again. Hed check a kick and both andersons legs fly right off.

People keep acting like Kelvin is some tiny dude who is massively undersized at MW.

He's stocky and thick as fuck. He's a true middleweight now, he'll never make 170 again.

Yeah well he does not show up looking ripped like the pic you posted dopey.

 

[Soul On Ice]

He's only "old school" because Dana forced him to be tho.

 

[Dozer .]

War Gas!

 

[MMAandBOXINGfan]

but kelvin is badass though, i think hes a tough matchup for anyone at 170 and 185

Reminder, he can't fight at WW cuz he missed weight too many times.

He was FORCED to move up a weight.

Old school NOT lol

Kelvin is stocky but he is fighting dudes that are like 6’3 and walk around at 210+
