After railroading ex-champ Vitor Belfort (25-14 MMA, 14-10 UFC) in the headliner of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 106, Gastelum (14-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) again called for a fight with ex-champ Anderson Silva (34-8 MMA, 17-4 UFC) while admitting the promotion’s recent matchmaking gives him pause. “Because what’s the point of having contenders, what’s the point of having rankings if we’re not going to follow the rankings, if we’re not going to follow the No. 1 contenders?
