not waste the opportu-
nity to fight in the largest
venue within the organiza-
tion.
“And I fought three times
in Mexico, but this time
I could not pass up the
largest billboard UFC his-
tory,” analyzed Gastelum.
“It is a privilege, a dream
come true and to follow
the achievements. I know I
can compete and be world
champion, but the UFC
was not trying to do that.
“
Gastelum currently occu-
pies the fifth place in the
classification of the UFC
welterweights, but he said
his position on the rank-
ings list has generated con-
troversy within the world
of MMA. “The rankings
are made by journalists, he
does not rely much on the
rankings.
It is good to have, but at
the same time we should
not give them much atten-
tion, “Gastelum analyzed.
“I’m close to the title, I am
ranked # 5 and fight with
Donald, I see no other con-
tender, they can give me
the opportunity.”
Finally, Gastelum was con-
fident that he can give a
good show as usual, be-
cause he feels grateful to
the fans who support and
seeks somehow pay them
with his action. “My Lat-
in people, thank you very
much for the support, the
truth is that I’m sorry and
motivates me, I am very
grateful and good, to go
with everything,” Gaste-
lum said. “I bring that style
of Mexican boxing, I move
forward and I like boxing.”
