Gastelum on returning to welterweight: “I feel great”

Dmitriy Kel | Published Dec. 2, 2023, 3:51 a.m.

American UFC fighter Kelvin Gastelum spoke about his return to the welterweight category after seven years.

“This has always been my division. I had some success at middleweight, so being there was fine with me for a while. Now is the time to leave your comfort zone and spend a little more time on your diet. The welterweight category has always been the most suitable for me.

I feel great. I haven’t felt this healthy or been this slim in years. “I did a great job,” BJ Penn quotes the American.

Let us remind you that on the night of December 3 at the UFC on ESPN 52 tournament in Austin, Texas, Gastelum will share the octagon with Sean Brady.
