Kelvin Gastelum hoping for return to 170 following 'good performance' at UFC 188

Former Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season 17 winner Kelvin Gastelum takes on Nate Marquardt in a middleweight bout at UFC 188 on Sat., June 13, 2015 inside the Arena Mexico (more on that here). However, his sights are still set on a return to his former home of 170 pounds.

From last pick on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) to Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight contender, success came fast for once-unheralded grinder Kelvin Gastelum.

But oh, how things can change in an instant.

The 23-year-old phenom took a five-fight winning streak into battle with former Strikeforce 170-pound champion Tyron Woodley; his biggest test to date at UFC 183 back in January.
