It would be a miracle if Kelvin Gastelum keeps his job.
That’s five pounds over the middleweight limit when factoring in the one-pound overage permitted in non-title fights.
Stoltzfus (16-7) is just 3-6 under the UFC banner.
“I know both of us are in a similar position where one of us might have to go home, the loser,” Gastelum told MMA Junkie. “We’ll see.”
Fortunately for ticket holders, Stoltzfus agreed to fight anyway and will collect 35-percent of Gastelum’s fight purse. Their three-round contest is currently seated behind Jared Gordon vs. Rafa Garcia at lightweight, Rob Font vs. David Martinez at bantamweight (co-main event), and Diego Lopes vs. Jean Silva at featherweight (main event).
