Kelvin Gastelum
Despite winning his fight against Daniel Rodriguez by unanimous decision, Kelvin Gastelum did not advance his career with this fight. By showing unprofessionalism and disrespect to his foe which moved the fight up an entire weight class at the last minute, he has made the UFC uncertain if he can even make 170 anymore. I presume he will try, but he has not earned a ranked opponent, yet.
One interesting matchup against a fellow vet would be Gunnar Nelson. Nelson is a strong grappler, the exact archetype that Gastelum had trouble with last year against Sean Brady. If he proves he has significantly improved, maybe Kelvin can still fight his way back into the welterweight ranks.
