In two days 10th Planet Yuma's Kelvin Gastelum faces Rick Story at UFC 171. This will be a war! Every fight I tell myself I could'nt be prouder of K and what he's accomplished in less than a year. Every fight he shows us a new level without losing who he is. Go get em Kelvin!
Yeah, war Kelvin! And I'm excited to see OSP on his first main card fight in the UFC! We may just be extended 10P family, but Ovince has been known to throw out some calf-slicers during some of his previous fights, and even finished one guy with one. Very excited that we may see some slick and brutal ground work this weekend!
Tough test for the ever improving Gastelum. Gastelum is on fire. I look forward to this.
Will be rooting for him all dayQuote:

I'll be rooting for my 10P brother :)
WAR Kelvin. It's gonna be a great fight, can't wait!
I'm looking forward to watching K get the W......good luck guys!!!!
@ Kevin you know how 10 do.....
Congrats! Kelvin is a beast!
Had chest pain for a sec but I'm good now:)
From Bloodyelbow.com:
Kelvin Gastelum deserves a ton of respect for his win over Rick Story, even if you believe Story deserved the win. Gastelum showed a really impressive amount of skill, a beautiful jab and some sneaky power. Story is a legit tough guy, which is why he was able to almost finish Gastelum in the second round after getting roughed up in the first. Gastelum has a bright future if he stays motivated.
Congrats!

Awesome fight for both guys. Sucks there had to be a loser, but I'm glad it was kelvin who got the nod.
There's a lot to be said for him. There was an experience gap. Kelvin is closing that experience gap quickly. He's looking like a seasoned vet out there. Story has lights out ok power. For kelvin to stay in the fight was huge as well. He's so young and still learning. He really does have a bright future.
K is just getting started and he will be the first to tell you how much he has to learn. K is just 22 and Story has 15 UFC fights under his belt. I could not be prouder of him.
