Kelvin Gastelum’s issues on the scale are well documented.
The “Ultimate Fighter 17” winner emerged as a promising prospect after winning his first five bouts within the Las Vegas-based promotion, including four at 170 pounds. However, Gastelum’s weight cut went south in a hurry prior to his bout with Tyron Woodley at UFC 183, as he was briefly hospitalized after missing the welterweight limit by 10 pounds. It wasn’t determined until the morning of the fight that the matchup would go forward as planned.
