Dana White ‘Furthest From Confident’ Kelvin Gastelum Can Fight at 170 Pounds

Kelvin Gastelum looked right at home at 185 pounds on Saturday night.

“The Ultimate Fighter 17” winner overwhelmed Nate Marquardt in a featured middleweight bout at UFC 188 in Mexico City, forcing the ex-Strikeforce titlist to quit on his stool after two rounds. It was Gastelum’s first fight at 185 pounds since he upset Uriah Hall at the reality show’s finale in April 2013.

Despite his troubles making the 170-pound limit for past bouts, Gastelum doesn’t necessarily plan on sticking around in the division where he made his UFC debut.
