Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White told reporters at the post-fight press conference at UFC 225 that middleweight fighter Kelvin Gastelum has “personal issues” that he needs to get sorted out.
White was referring to Gastelum’s decision to turn down the opportunity as a replacement for Yoel Romero if he was to miss weight in his middleweight title fight against Robert Whittaker.
Gastelum told the new host of “The MMA Hour,” Luke Thomas, on Monday’s edition of the show that he was “dumbfounded” by the comments from White regarding the situation.
