- After fighting at middleweight in his last outing, The Ultimate Fighter 17 winner Kelvin Gastelum wanted to return to the welterweight division. He will on Nov. 21 against fifth-ranked Matt Bown in the UFC Fight Night 78 main event.
The UFC officially announced the match-up on Tuesday.
Gastelum (11-1) missed weight in two of his last three fights in the 170-pound division, prompting the UFC to book him at middleweight. He’s 4-1 as a welterweight with his only loss coming by split decision to third-ranked Tyron Woodley. A win over Brown would put Gastelum right back in the mix at the top of the 170-pound weight class.
Brown (20-13) rebounded from back-to-back losses to champion Robbie Lawler and former titleholder Johny Hendricks with a first-round submission of Tim Means at UFC 189 on July 11. Prior to the two losses, Brown was on a seven-fight winning streak. He’ll be looking to expand on the win over Means when faces Gastelum.
UFC Fight Night 78, also known as The Ultimate Fighter Latin America 2 Finale, takes place at the Arena Monterrey on Nov. 21 in Monterrey, Mexico . http://www.mmaweekly.com/matt-brown-vs-kelvin-gastelum-headline-ufc-fight-night-78-in-mexico I got Brown in this one. Seems like lately he only loses to the absolute best of the best in the division, and Gastellum's not quite on that level. | |

| I think i will have to go with Kelvin on this one. I think his ground game will be to much for Brown to handle. Kelvin via UD | |
