Kelvin Gastelum reacts to Johny Hendricks' sparring comments, confident for UFC 200 matchup

In less than one week, former TUF winner Kelvin Gastelum will enter the biggest fight of his young mixed martial arts (MMA) career.

At just 24 years of age, Gastelum will be taking on former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight champion Johny Hendricks at UFC 200 on July 9. What makes thing even more hectic for Gastelum is the fact that "Bigg Rigg" is coming off a crushing knockout loss to Stephen Thompson at UFC Fight Night 82, making the former 170-pound king more dangerous than ever.
