Matt Brown vs. Kelvin Gastelum headlines UFC's return to Mexico

[sonhow]

War Brown. But a specialist in chokes like Kelvin might be a horrible matchup for him...

 

[cumafish]

predict that Gastelum misses weight by at least 2 pounds.

 

[kenCs]

Gastelum put him away early. I think Gastelum could even sub him.

 

[Air Lats]

Great fight. Really could go either way. I love this kind of matchup. Totally different styles, both excellent in their chosen area. This one will be about who can better control where the fight takes place. I know Brown got grapplephked by Hendricks and Kelvin is a very good wrestler but maybe not quite Johnny level.

I got Brown by knee to face collision in the 3rd. Brown might drop a round, though. Kelvin is no joke. Kelvin could take it, too. If he can dictate where the fight goes he might decision Brown.

Anyway, great fight. Can't wait. Hope Kelvin makes weight!

So forcing Kelvin to fight at MW once (against a guy who recently competed at WW as well) was a complete waste of time. I hope he misses weight again just to see Dana's face

 

[Organic Damage]

Damnit, I like this fight, but I don't like it.

Brown needs to win so he can face Condit, but he has no path to victory if Kelvin gets his weight cut right...

 

[BobbyBuds]

Sucha great fight. I'm assuming this is 5 rounds, which is perfect.. We'll see how Kevin handles the experience and just sheer determination of Brown. If Kevin can be broken it'll happen here.

 

[Jopo]

The just bleed gods thank Mr. Brown for his frequent service in the cage. Unlike these other fools.

 

[electricfuneral]

i like kelvin but, I gotta pick matt brown. This is a rare fight where they each have an equal amount of ways to win.

KG can win by KO, Sub (after hurting Brown Standing) Decision (Using cage stalling and td's)

Matt Brown can win by KO, SUB froma scramble or Decision due to his cardio being better.

 

[PivotPunch]

It would be hilarious if Gastelum misses weight I could see it happening

I don't think it was a complete waste of time. He really got it hammered home that he's on very very thin ice at WW. I think the MW fight and Dana's public shaming at the press conference really communicated to him that missing weight again will have serious consequences like never being allowed to fight WW again if he dicks the weight cut up.

 

[CarloSpcyWeiner]

Gastelum better make weight. Tough match up.

 

[Fizzee Water]

Should be a sick fight. I think Kelvin's pace and wrestling will net him a UD

 

[chubbman]

Now this is a fight I'm excited for, brown decision win after kelvin fades late on

 

[Drake]

Damn. I like both guys. Should be an awesome fight... Think Matt will catch him though.

 

[runnpray]

Gastelum has struggled to cut down to 170 pounds and even after his win over Marquardt, it appeared he was going to have to stay in the middleweight division, but now he will get the chance to move back to welterweight for a main event fight in his native country.

What is this shit? Born in San Jose, CA.

 

[Towelie by TKO]

Gastelum put him away early. I think Gastelum could even sub him.

Lawler and Hendricks couldn't put him away early, don't see Kelvy doing it.

I think Kelvin might look dominant early in the fight but he won't be able to keep up with Brown's pace for a full 5 Rounds.

Brown via Round 4 TKO.

 

[KhabibTheBeagle]

Really hope Gastelum beats Brown. His best bet would be to beat him by submission. Standing with Brown is foolish, and you can't grind him to a decision because Brown's cardio is too good, and Kelvin could end up tired and in trouble.

I think the MW fight and Dana's public shaming at the press conference really communicated to him that missing weight again will have serious consequences like never being allowed to fight WW again if he dicks the weight cut up.

He was already not allowed to fight at WW again; the guy missed weight by 10 pounds. I guess if he misses weight this time, he will never ever be allowed to fight at ww... unless he beats 2 cans at MW this time instead of one

 

[Janne1]

Hopefully Kelvin makes weight healthy and wrestlefucks Brown. I like Brown but Kelvin should be a contender soon if he gets rid of his weight cut issues.
