Kelvin Gastelum Hopes to Get Back to Welterweight at Some Point

Kelvin Gastelum spoke with MMAjunkie about having to move up to middleweight to face Tim Kennedy at UFC 205 after missing weight for three fights at welterweight. Some highlights are below:

On his issues at welterweight: “I’m a human being just like you, and I make mistakes.”

On having to train and cut over thirty-five pounds in eight weeks: “I wasn’t sitting back eating burgers like everyone thinks.”

On wanting to get back to welterweight at some point: “…it’s just a matter of me changing my lifestyle outside of camp and not being 40 or 50 pounds above my weight class. That just makes my job harder on me. That’s my fault. I take full responsibility for it. It’s just a matter of me changing my lifestyle out of camp, and I’m going to do it.”
