Kelvin Gastelum pushed himself into the upper tier of UFC middleweight title contention on Saturday when he defeated Ronaldo Souza in the UFC 224 co-main event. Gastelum (15-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) has lost just once in seven UFC fights at middleweight. He extended that run when he defeated “Jacare” (25-6 MMA, 8-3 UFC) by split decision in the pay-per-view bout at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro. With the win, Gastelum might very well be next for a title shot at 185 pounds.
