Five years after winning the Ultimate Fighter 17 and Kelvin Gastelum is getting his first title shot in the UFC. Although he won his TUF title at 185, Gastelum told reporters he never expected his first chance at a belt would come at middleweight. However, following a series of failed weight cuts in the welterweight division, the Kings MMA talent took his skills back up a division and has put together some serious success in the time since.
Gastelum has gone 4-1 at middleweight (although one win was later overturned due to a drug test failure for marijuana).
