He is officially 2-1 in his past three fights at 185 pounds, and believes the top opponent for him to guarantee a title shot against is Ronaldo 'Jacare' Souza (25-5), who is coming off a first-round stoppage over Derek Brunson last month.

The UFC has a pay-per-view event on May 12 in Rio de Janeiro, which would seem like an obvious landing spot for that potential bout. Gastelum has previously said he would never fight in Brazil, due to differences with the commission there, but may change his mind.

"I would love to fight in Rio, and obviously a fight with Jacare would propel me to where I want to go," Gastelum said. "I'm scared of that commission. I don't know what to think of the commission.

"I should probably talk to someone in the commission or [UFC vice president of regulatory affairs] Marc Ratner. Hopefully, he'd keep me safe and nothing happens to my [drug] samples. I just don't know what to think of the commission over there."
 
Looks like kelvin just found out that jacare is almost 40 so he can fight him.
 
Funny he's not asking for a rematch with Weidman..guess he knows better.
 
Jacare likely strangles him. Doubt kelvin can keep it standing long
 
I don't want to see Weidman vs Jacare right now

Kelvin vs Jacare I can dig tho

I'd pick Jacare by submission
 
wasn't USADA that flagged him for weed? why is he blaming brazil for?

also nope. jacaré vs weidman is MUCH more interesting
 
Great opportunity for Kelvin, but he would be chomped by the caiman - there are no alligators in South America.
 
Nah, I want to see Weedman vs Jacare, both are coming off wins, and this fight is long overdue...plus Jacare isn't over 50 years old, Kelvin won't want that.
 
Old as fuck? Yep

Yep Kelvin he fits the criteria for you
 
Not surprised
Alligators usually are over 40 years of age
 
Kelvin's plan to a MW title shot: Beat up the old guys who have big names.

When he did fight a MW that wasn't old, he got subbed.
 
it won't be as easy as beating bisping.
alligators are tougher than ducks

Uhm ... hows it his fault that bisping who was coming off a title fight is nearly 40 and jacare is as well yet hes ranked #3. Not like hes calling out retired vets.

Its just hate. A year ago all these guys were stars and Bisping was ducking them. Now they are old and washed up.

Kelvin/Chris vs Jacare obviously makes the most sense

Whoever doesn't fight Jacare can fight the Branch/Santos winner
