I'm not sold on this Gastelum bullshit. Vitor been getting blasted because he's been getting sat on top of and getting his head pounded in, if I recall correctly. He can fight Gastelum in a stand-up battle and not have to worry about getting on his back and then having his face pounded.
I know he's old and off the roids (Vitor), but is this not Gastelum by decision? (Mind you, my MMA picks lose at about a 99% clip)
I don't think he'll knock out Vitor.
I don't see why Vitor can't win this.
For Gastelum this is another must-win. If he loses, then he's lost to the lower ranks of this division. And he can't drop to the lower weight. So this is another must-win for him to stay alive in his career. And then his next fight (if he beats Vitor), he'll have to face a higher ranked fighter.... so it will get harder.
Realistically, I think Gastelum is in a position where he has to win his next 2 fights (absolute minimum) or 3 fights to stay in the UFC.
