Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-01-31, disappointing fight between Tyron Woodley and Kelvin Gastelum: it gets two stars.Tyron Woodley entered this fight with a pro mma record of 14-3-0 (71% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.4 welterweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Robbie Lawler); he fought three times in 2014 defeating Carlos Condit (=Condit vs Woodley) and Dong Hyun Kim (=Woodley vs Kim) but between these two bouts he lost to Rory MacDonald (=MacDonald vs Woodley).
His opponent, the undefeated Tuf 17 winner Kelvin Gastelum, has a perfect record of 10-0-0 (70% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.12 in the same weight class; he fought three times in 2014 as well, beating Rick Story, Nicholas Musoke (=Gastelum vs Musoke) and Jake Ellenberger (=Ellenberger vs Gastelum). Woodley vs Gastelum was originally scheduled as a welterweight bout but Kelvin weighed in ten pounds over the limit of 170 lbs, so he was fined 30 percent of his purse for the infraction; this fight is on the undercard of Anderson Silva vs Nick Diaz – UFC 183.
