Gastelum said he failed to make weight last time mostly due to unforeseen circumstances and promised it would not be an issue this time.
“A lot of things went wrong that fight week,” Gastelum told ESPN.com. “My weight was good. It was low. But things went south, starting with my flights getting canceled. One of my flights had to turn around and go back to my original airport. I didn’t get into San Antonio until the next day at 2 a.m. A lot of little things went wrong, timing-wise. I had to check in pretty early for the UFC the day of the weigh-in and they didn’t allow me to continue sweating off those pounds.
“We’re going to make sure we do everything right this time. This should be the easiest weight cut I’ve had.”
