Well, Gastelum looks like your average fit dude that works out a lot. Kennedy looks like a comic book protagonist. Kennedy won the physique portion of the pageant. We will see what happens on fight night. Gastelum is a more talented, less disciplined fighter with less of a work ethic. Kennedy is less naturally gifted, (though still very talented) with more discipline and a greater work ethic. And my guess is on fight night he os going to be the much larger man. The size and strength disparity will probably play a big role. Gastelum will have to hope Kennedy leaves him an opening.

Typically only the best of the best legit 185'ers beat Kennedy. If Gastelum wins, it will be a big feather in his cap.
You think a guy who was fighting at ww 2 weeks ago... Will be bigger than a natural MW...
 
Yeah aesthetically maybe... unless your talking about the stereotypical Mexican fighter with endless cardio & endurance, coupled with granite chins. Pointless fighting attributes really. Six pack would be better.

Agreed, some might look soft but historically their genes are actually pretty fucking good for combat sports, able to absorb endless punishment, with massive workrate to go along with that :D
 
I actually have KG winning this. Call me crazy but I think he pulls it off.

It's not inconceivable that he can keep it standing and outstrike him. Kennedy is a damn good grappler, but his striking is nothing special.
 
I'd rather get KOd with a decent set of abs on me than train all day and still look like I'm a couple chimichangas away from type 2 diabetes.

Priorities imo.
 
If Kennedy didn't lose a step or 2 in this hiatus, he should run over Gastelum pretty easily.
Gastelum is a good fighter, but Kennedy is very dangerous, only losing to the absolute best in the division.
 
Would not surprise me in the least if Gastelum won. This is a very even fight.
