Overview

• At the official weigh-ins in San Antonio, Kelvin Gastelum came in at 191 pounds, five over the 186-pound non-title middleweight limit in his fourth UFC weigh-in miss.
• Dustin Stoltzfus made weight at 185.5 pounds, accepted the fight at catchweight, and will receive 35% of Gastelum’s purse on Saturday at Frost Bank Center.
• This is Gastelum’s first miss at 185 pounds, a long-running issue that previously included a 2016 overage that led to a canceled bout with Donald Cerrone and a commission suspension.
• Public reaction from fans and fighters called for UFC leadership to consider releasing Gastelum, with any additional disciplinary or contractual action not yet determined.
• Gastelum entered the bout 3-7 in his past 10 outings after a decision loss to Joe Pyfer and had said he needed to string wins together to secure his future.
