<p id="qvjswU">Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight bruiser, Anthony Smith, went from relative obscurity to 205-pound contender in less than a year, thanks to consecutive knockout wins over former division champions Rashad Evans and Mauricio Rua.</p>
<p id="F1n7dW">The former is featured in the promotion’s “Knockout of the Week,” which dates back to the UFC 225 pay-per-view (PPV) event last June. That’s when “Lionheart” disposed of “Suga” with a nasty knee to the dome.</p>

<p>What happens when you absorb a combined 185 significant strikes from a killer like Yoel Romero? Kelvin Gastelum thinks we’re about to find out.</p> <p id="193lvO">Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight champion, Robert Whittaker, is coming off back-to-back wars against top 185-pound contender, Yoel Romero, after consecutive main events with “The Soldier of God” at UFC 213 and <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2018/6/6/17433778/ufc-225-results-robert-whittaker-vs-yoel-romero-live-stream-play-by-play-updates-chicago-mma">then again at UFC 225</a>.</p>
<p id="yG2pzX">That equates to 10 rounds — and 50 grueling minutes — against one of the <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2018/2/11/17000356/ufc-221-results-luke-rockhold-yoel-romero-fight-middleweight-perth-mma">hardest punchers</a> in not just the middleweight division, but all of mixed martial arts (MMA).</p>

<p id="yW1erb">“I don’t know if he’s going to be the same fighter after these fights,” Kelvin Gastelum told the MMA media at last week’s scrum. “These wars that he’s been in, it takes a toll on the body, so we’ll see how he comes out after this hand surgery.”</p>

<p id="jr7izr">Is Robert Whittaker ducking Kelvin Gastelum.</p>
<p id="La5gjE">The “Reaper” team recently told the mixed martial arts (MMA) media that Whittaker is expected to make his middleweight return in fall of 2018 and is already lining up a potential 185-pound title defense <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2018/7/2/17525252/looks-like-chris-weidman-might-be-getting-next-ufc-middleweight-title-shot-mma">against ex-champion, Chris Weidman</a>.</p>

<p id="4AevjR">“Chris Weidman thinks that he should get the shot over me? I was ranked ninth when he fought me,” Gastelum told <a href="https://www.mmafighting.com/2018/7/1/17522242/kelvin-gastelum-id-give-ufc-champion-robert-whittaker-the-most-difficult-time-in-the-octagon">MMA Fighting</a>. “He was coming off a three-fight skid.

In his absence, The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 17 champ captured consecutive victories over Michael Bisping and Ronaldo Souza.</p>
<p id="6JtgHE">Which is probably why Whittaker wants no part of him.</p>
<p id="aPMy0o">“I know that he’s been offered the fight against me twice and he has not been wanting to fight me,” <a href="https://www.mmafighting.com/2018/7/1/17522242/kelvin-gastelum-id-give-ufc-champion-robert-whittaker-the-most-difficult-time-in-the-octagon">Gastelum said</a>. “And I think that’s for good reason.

<p id="kTFob0">Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar, has been teasing a return to mixed martial arts (MMA) at some point in late 2018, or perhaps early 2019, and has been <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2018/6/13/17460648/ufc-jon-jones-little-legs-break-down-potential-brock-lesnar-super-fight-mma">loosely attached</a> to former 205-pound kingpin Jon Jones.</p>
<p id="YFjN6N">But there’s a real chance that “Bones” may not be eligible to compete anytime soon (<a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2018/2/27/17058868/csac-revokes-jon-jones-license-fight-fines-205000-pending-usada-doping-decision-ufc">thanks to this</a>), which would put Lesnar back into the heavyweight mix, and one name we can already scratch off the list of potential opponents is top contender Curtis Blaydes.</p>

<p id="AdVUpN">“He isn’t worth anything and he gives me no chance to improve my ranking,” Blaydes said. “Sure, the fans would like it but I’m not really worried about that. I’m more interested in improving my ranking, getting that belt, and getting my money.”</p>

<p id="ngisLJ">Turns out “Soldier of God” was able to drop and give USADA 20 ... vials of urine to prove he was, in fact, operating purely on genetics and willpower, which carried him to the <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2018/6/10/17445034/ufc-225-full-fight-video-highlights-robert-whittaker-vs-yoel-romero-mma-chicago">fifth round of their middleweight title fight</a> earlier this month in “The Windy City.”</p>

<p>Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight ...</p> <p id="iF8C6v">Welcome to Midnight Mania!</p>
<p id="rag1bG">Kelvin Gastelum was taken aback by Dana White’s comments after UFC 225. UFC’s president said after the bout that Gastelum had some <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2018/6/10/17445824/yoel-romero-deserve-robert-whittaker-rematch-ufc-president-dana-white-wants-move-light-heavyweight">“personal issues”</a> he needed to “get together and handle ... quick.” Gastelum was unsure what issues Dana was referring to, but he indicated that the ire may be related to not stepping in to save the event after UFC had refused to pay him to be ready as a late notice replacement. </p>

<blockquote><p id="kFPPYi">“I was dumbfounded. Because I don’t know where those comments are coming from. I just figured he was upset over me not taking the fight 1.5 days before.

<p id="YZHoVW">Gastelum said his manager had been in negotiations with UFC to be available as a late notice replacement, but evidently the UFC was unwilling to pay Gastelum, so the negotiations fell through, and Kelvin went to Cancun instead. When <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2018/6/9/17444054/ufc-225-embedded-video-ep-5-whittaker-romero-discuss-botched-weight-cut-backstage-mma">Romero’s weight troubles</a> emerged 1.5 days before the bout, Gastelum was more than 200 pounds and in no condition to make the 185-pound limit in that time-frame.</p>
<blockquote><p id="clKfe1">“I looked down at my belly and I’m like, ‘No, I don’t think I can do this in a day and a half,’” Gastelum said with a laugh.… “In a day and a half’s notice while I’ve been out drinking and eating, I probably would have been in the hospital if I would have tried that.”</p></blockquote>
<p id="eKXA2J">Gastelum has had <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2016/11/11/13598058/kelvin-gastelum-misses-weight-cancels-fight-against-donald-cerrone-ufc-205">numerous weight cutting troubles</a> before, which is the reason he is now fighting at Middleweight instead of Welterweight. Riding a two-fight win streak over Michael Bisping and Jacare Souza,<a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2018/5/3/17315346/kelvin-gastelum-eyes-middleweight-title-fight-then-plans-welterweight-return-whoop-tyron-woodley"> Gastelum feels he is next in line</a> for the 185-pound title and has no issues with a title fight in November, though it’s unclear how soon Robert Whittaker will be back after <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2018/6/10/17445800/ufc-225-morning-after-whittaker-vs-romero-scorecards-rematch-decision-chicago-mma">breaking his hand</a>. Either way, Gastelum is happy Whittaker won, though <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2018/6/10/17445800/ufc-225-morning-after-whittaker-vs-romero-scorecards-rematch-decision-chicago-mma">he thought the decision would go Romero’s way.</a></p>
<aside id="tfrRZM"><div data-anthem-component="readmore" data-anthem-component-data='{"stories":[{"title":"UFC 225, The Morning After: Were Whittaker-Romero Scorecards Right?","url":"https://www.mmamania.com/2018/6/10/17445800/ufc-225-morning-after-whittaker-vs-romero-scorecards-rematch-decision-chicago-mma"}]}'></div></aside><blockquote><p id="dSlpyM">“I thought Romero would have been getting the nod, but obviously he didn’t. And selfishly I thought, I was hoping they’d give it to Whittaker. Just because Romero had missed weight, he wouldn’t have been getting the belt and then it just would have created this whole scenario where I’m definitely not getting the next shot. It just wouldn’t be a position where I would be fighting for a title any time soon.”</p></blockquote>
<p id="5OtOW8">But first, he probably needs to sort out his relationship with UFC’s boss. </p>
<blockquote><p id="NYRXDH">“I would love to sit down and see what those comments are about. I just haven’t reached out to him about it. Eventually, I want to sit down with him and talk to him and meet with him and see what the future holds.”</p></blockquote>

Let’s face it if you’re a fighter the term glass jaw is never something you want to be considered or called. I’ve had my share of wars and knockouts. In this game longevity is KING.

<p id="I6ONkL">Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight champion and former Ultimate Fighter (TUF) winner, Rashad Evans, 38, has announced his retirement from mixed martial arts (MMA).</p>
<p id="NMSHEK">A very emotional “Suga” appeared on <a href="https://twitter.com/i/events/964202978675605505">Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show</a> to announce his decision to leave the sport after nearly 15 years in the fight game and on the heels of an unprecedented five-fight losing streak. </p>
<blockquote><p id="xVrHx4">“I feel pretty good. I took some time to settle my feelings and just get my mind around everything that happened and just be honest with myself. I feel like I have thought about things and had the time away with my own thoughts to make a real evaluation on what the next step is. I am going to retire. At one point in my life I felt fighting was everything and I put life second. But now life is taking over and fighting has become second. Competing in a sport like MMA where you have a lot of guys who havn’t been to the top of the mountain and haven't experienced the things I have, they are really hungry for it. Me, I was just lukewarm. I have been through a lot in the sport, a lot of fights and I don’t look at the sport the same way. It’s hard, man. I didn’t want to go out losing, but at the same time it’s what I need to do because I feel like I have other things in life that are calling me to go to. I thought about how hard it would be for me to say these words and say it out loud, but, I needed to, this is part of the healing and part of me accepting what is. And I can’t fool myself any longer about it. The hard part about it is that physically I feel good enough to compete though I did get knocked out in 56 seconds. I still feel there is a part of me, that desire, that competition. But at the same time, I just don’t have that in me no more to want to do it again.” </p></blockquote>
<p id="n2rrVI">Evans admits after losing to Anthony Smith via first-round knockout at UFC 225 a few weeks ago he knew it was time to walk away (<a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2018/6/9/17445066/ufc-225-full-fight-video-highlights-anthony-smith-knockout-rashad-evans-mma-chicago">see it again here</a>). </p>
<p id="nLyBvq">Making his UFC debut back in 2005 after winning the second season of TUF, Evans got off to a blistering start inside the Octagon, winning eight in a row with a draw to Tito Ortiz sandwiched in between. In 2008, Evans won the 205-pound title by knocking out Forrest Griffin at UFC 92. </p>
<p id="mNBcBE">In his first title defense, “Suga” coughed up the strap to Lyoto Machida at UFC 198 after suffering a second-round knockout. By racking up four more wins, Evans earned the chance to reclaim the title when he was booked to face Jon Jones at UFC 145, though he ultimately came up short on the judges’ scorecards. </p>
<aside id="s0nEsI"><div data-anthem-component="readmore" data-anthem-component-data="{"stories":[{"title":"'Bones' coach: Rashad Evans came 'within inches' of knocking out Jon Jones at UFC 145","url":"https://www.mmamania.com/2012/5/8/3008006/mike-winkeljohn-rashad-evans-jon-jones-coach-knockout-ufc-145-atlanta-mma"}]}"></div></aside><p id="Di6dyy">After that defeat, Evans couldn’t seem to find his groove, losing six of his next eight. With that skid came losing his previous five in a row. Perhaps what really stuck out to fight fans was the fact that his previous three defeats came at the hands of Dan Kelly, Sam Alvey and most recently Anthony Smith.</p>
<p id="COIiLm">Despite his recent rough patch, Evans was a huge part of helping UFC climb its way to the top early on under the Zuffa banner and leaves behind plenty of highlight-reel knockouts and memories. </p>
<p id="e21P5F">Which one was your favorite? </p>
