Kelvin Gastelum is trying to settle in as a UFC middleweight, though it’s not without at least one skeptic. Gastelum (13-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC), who faces Vitor Belfort (25-13 MMA, 14-9 UFC) in the main event of tonight’s UFC Fight Night 106 show, has experienced his share of weight-cutting troubles during his UFC career. Since winning “The Ultimate Fighter 17” in 2013 as a middleweight, Gastelum has gone back and forth between fighting at 185 and 170 pounds. Making 170 pounds has proven to be difficult, with Gastelum missing weight three times, including in January 2015 when he came into his UFC 183 fight against Tyron Woodley 10 pounds over. Gastelum enters his bout against Belfort – which headlines the FS1-televised event at Centro de Formacao Olimpica do Nordeste in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil – coming off a third-round TKO victory over Tim Kennedy in a middleweight bout at UFC 206
