Kelvin Gastelum hasn’t totally given up on his aspirations at welterweight.

Kelvin Gastelum’s journey to middleweight is paying off handsomely.

Kelvin Gastelum takes out Vitor Belfort in the first round of their UFC Fight Night main event on Saturday in Fortaleza, Brazil.

Vitor Belfort is one of the greatest fighters the UFC has ever had but he is nearing the end of the road.

It looks like Father Time can wait a little longer before he ends Mauricio Rua’s career as the Pride legend took care of business in the co-feature. Though “Shogun” was rocked in the first and second rounds from Gian Villante left hooks, the all-time great knockout artist utilized timely hooks upstairs behind wicked jabs.

After losing the first round on virtually everybody’s card against Beneil Dariush in what was a highly entertaining chess match on the feet, Brazil’s Edson Barboza scored one of the most violent knockouts of the year thus far.

Popular Brazilian brawler Alex Oliveira was like a man possessed against fellow tough guy Tim Means and wound up submitting him in the second.

Sherdog.com’s live UFC Fight Night 106 “Belfort vs. Gastelum” coverage kicks off Saturday at 7:00 p.m. ET, live from the Northeast Olympic Training Center in Fortaleza, Brazil.
