Prediction: Gastelum  |  Decision

So Gastelum's being let back into the WW division or Brown going up?

I'm sure it's at 170,everyone knew Dana and Co. would let him back.I don't think he should have even been forced to move up.He missed weight for the 2nd time (forced rehydration when a few pounds off,still his fault but 2 times) while it was Lineker's 4th time!Dana was so pissed they messed up the event that he made them both move up.If Lineker hadn't missed they wouldn't have made Kelvin move up,which makes it all kind of stupid.Also Dana White kept throwing Kelvin under the bus screaming about 10 pounds over!10 pounds over!And never mentioned that he was only 10 pounds over because they made him rehydrate.I didn't understand that.

Anyway,I figured they would slap him on the wrist and let him back to WW, and I also think it was necessary, I was just saying it was a dumb situation.Hopefully he learned his lesson and stops getting so heavy between fights.This being a 5 round fight is great for Matt Brown,should be an awesome fight and a great match up,hopefully it stays together!

Once they're a top 10 - 15 fighter in the UFC I'm gonna go ahead and say that disqualifies them from being "local talent"

Easy?  based on what?  I think easy is the farthest thing from this for Gastelum. The dude  gasses and likes to stand in the pocket to much.  That does not sound easy when Brown is your opponent for 5 rounds. Honestly I think Brown finishes him in a 5 round fight.

I think Gastelum wins by out wrestling him for 5 rounds. I want Brown to win, though.

I doubt that will happen. He shown to be pretty confident striking the majority of the time. He also has shown to not have a great gass tank and wrestling someone for 5 rounds takes a lot of gass. he also has no IV's and has shown severla times to have issues cutitng weight. I dont think that a likely out come at all. I think Gastelum could finish Brown via tko/submission in the early rounds, but I don't think he will have a prayer of wrestling him for 5 rounds.

Would like Wonderboy to step in, but don't think he will. Hendricks won't. Woodley beat Gastelum in his last fight. 

Where's Rick Story at?

Prediction: Gastelum  |  Decision

Gonna be a hard time finding a proper replacement.

In Gastelum's ranking proximity you've basically got: Hendricks (exiled to middleweight and too fat for short notice), Rory (collecting lost braincells), Woodley (beat Kelvin in his last fight), Saffiedine (injured), Story (injured), Erick Silva (probs won't be ready and who cares) and Ellenberger (got decimated by Kelvin and TBH not headliner material anymore).

Either you switch up some fights and bump up someone who's scheduled for a smaller fight and find him a replacement, give a hot prospect a major boost fight ...
