In a stunning turn of events at Noche UFC, Kelvin Gastelum has once again failed to make weight, raising eyebrows and igniting criticism from fans and fellow fighters alike.

Ahead of his 25th fight with Dusko Todorovic, Gastelum tipped the scales a staggering five pounds over the middleweight limit. This marks the fourth time in his UFC career that he has struggled with weight, a pattern that has persisted despite his transition from welterweight to middleweight.

While the fight will proceed as a catchweight bout, Gastelum faces a hefty 35 percent fine, adding to the mounting pressure and scrutiny surrounding his weight management issues. Whether he triumphs or falters in the Octagon, the MMA community seems to be losing patience with the former Ultimate Fighter champion.

Veteran middleweight Derek Brunson didn’t hold back, humorously suggesting that Gastelum should have fought Bryan Battle, another fighter recently released for similar weight struggles. Brunson quipped, "Five pounds, damn! Buddy just said F it!" His comment resonates with many who are baffled by Gastelum’s continuing issues.

As the fight approaches, fans and analysts are left wondering: can Gastelum turn this controversy into motivation, or is this the beginning of the end for a once-promising star?
