UFC Fight Night: Whittaker v. Gastelum

Who will WIN this FIGHT?

Robert Whittaker (AUS)

Kelvin Gastelum (USA)

 

Current odds:

Robert Whittaker: (-275)

Kelvin Gastelum: (+225)

 

Gastelum has been a law of diminishing returns for some time now. It’s almost like some of his recent mix of tactics would have been better served years ago when he was doing nothing more than trying to bomb people out.

Gastelum appears to have hit his ceiling, and his skillset makes for a really bad matchup here. Whittaker’s defensive wrestling is still top notch and his counter game can get Kelvin in a ton of trouble once they’re past the feeling-out process. Kelvin’s reach and power can certainly catch Rob slipping, but he’s weathered damage from harder hitters and more technically sound strikers.
