Kelvin Gastelum Still Thinking About Fighting In Welterweight Division

March 23, 2017 | Posted by Joseph Lee

In an interview with MMA Fighting, Kelvin Gastelum said he still thinks about fighting for the UFC welterweight title even though he’s currently competing at middleweight. Here are highlights:

On competing at 170: “I’m thinking about getting the 170 belt. But, I’m thinking about getting the 170 belt, but if I have to get the 185 belt before, so be it.”

On his future: “We’ll see after this fight. I dunno. Hopefully I’ll be in a position when I win this fight I can lay out a few options and see what they are and go from there. Next step would be title shot at ’85, but realistically that might not happen.”

On GSP getting a shot at Michael Bisping over Yoel Romero: “While people were saying Anderson was the greatest of all-time, I was saying GSP was the greatest of all-time. He’s my favorite fighter and he’s viable. I don’t agree with him skipping Romero when he clearly deserves it.”
