Kelvin Gastelum Finishes Brian Melancon Via Rear Naked Choke in Round One

Kelvin Gastelum is, like many who came before him, a winner from The Ultimate Fighter , which means that there are some expectations placed upon his shoulders, but over the years those have begun to diminish a bit. There have just been so many seasons of The Ultimate Fighter and we’ve seen so many TUF washouts that it is hard to place a lot upon their shoulders, but Gastelum looked incredible tonight against a guy like Brian Melancon, who os a really solid fighter.
