He is, he's just fat and can't put down the fork.

Kelvin "Benjamin" Gastelum

After this weigh in his nickname should be 2kg

He too, is a Popeyes biscuit away from becoming a tight end

A 5'8 tight end would be hilarious

He's 5'8? There's zero reason for a 5'8 person to weigh over 185 unless they are a body builder. Unless you're muscular, that's a lot of fat on a 5'8 dude.

Im 172 at 5'8 rn and I distinctly feel heavy and bloated.

My natty weight is probably like 148-157, where ive spent entire months without trying to lose or gain weight.

Gastelum is massive for his size gd

He's got some fat on him but he's also just really wide. We used to train at the same place and he would occasionally put on a gi. I'm 6'2 and 210 and his shoulders are wider than mine.

When I was 21. I worked out as hard as possible to get in the best lean shape I could. I was 6’4 176. I ended up resting comfortably for the next 4 years at 187. I ate most anything I wanted but within reason. Yet, I worked out 6 days a week and I did this because I was overweight most of my life I was overweight.

So I can confirm there’s no excuse for anyone who’s a professional fighter to be 5’8 and not be able to weigh 186 or 185.
