Will a change in weight class reverse Kelvin Gastelum's fortunes?

After losing five out of his last six fights in the UFC, Kelvin Gastelum hopes to bring a turnaround in his fortunes by moving to welterweight. The former middleweight title challenger recently stated that he's contemplating a move to 170lbs down the line.

Kelvin Gastelum furthermore informed he is likely to step back inside the octagon sometime next year.

"Well, that's something I'm thinking about. Maybe possibly hire a dietician, maybe move down. But it'll take some time, you know. If I [move to welterweight], I will probably fight next year, which is most likely the case," Gastelum told The Schmo.
