UFC welterweight contender Kelvin Gastelum vows to ramp it up opposite Johny Hendricks at UFC 200

Out of everyone on the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight roster, former TUF winner Kelvin Gastelum may possess the most untapped potential.

As a 24-year-old rising contender who has already compiled a UFC record of 6-2, Gastelum is one of the more promising fighters in the 170-pound division. Both of his Octagon loses came by way of split decision, adding to the notion that he's already one of the toughest guys to beat.

Currently scheduled to take on former UFC Welterweight champion Johny Hendricks at UFC 200 on July 9 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Gaselum has a chance to further solidify his role in the ongoing title picture.
