Former UFC welterweight Kelvin Gastelum missed weight for his fight with Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone so completely that he never bothered to weigh in. There are consequences beyond robbing his opponent, the fans, and his employers.
Tim Kennedy called him a lazy, disrespectful a**hole.
Imps went to work on his Wikipedia page:
And UFC president Dana White is not impressed. A profoundly frustrated looking White was asked how frustrated he was.
“I’ll never let him fight at 170 again,” said White on a clip from FOX Sports’ The Buzzer.
White was then asked about Gastelum’s weigh in at UFC 183 on January 31, 2015, when he made 180, for a fight he was contracted to make 171 (welterweight limit plus the non-title courtesy pound).
“I think he missed this one by ten pounds,” said White.
