Dana White says Kelvin Gastelum 'has done nothing to prove he can make 170'

Kelvin Gastelum was forced into returning to middleweight at UFC 188, and if Dana White's post-fight press conference is anything to go by, the chances of Gastelum heading back down to welterweight aren't too promising.

UFC welterweight contender Kelvin Gastelum has had his past issues with cutting to 170 pounds. In five fights at the weight class, he's missed the target on the first attempt three times, and an illness caused him to come in 9 pounds heavy for his UFC 183 loss to Tyron Woodley. The Woodley loss was the last straw for the UFC brass, who effectively made him go back up to middleweight, where he had no problem beating up Nate Marquardt on Saturday's UFC 188.
