There was a moment earlier this week where former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold blasted top contender Kelvin Gastelum. Now, in an official response to Luke, Gastelum has sent out a reminder that he’s the man who knocked out the two men who knocked out Luke, and Kelvin won today’s internet in the process.
While in Australia, Luke said about Kelvin, “That little midget should be fighting for the title? How? How in the world does he think that? The kid hasn’t accomplished anything yet.”
And while Luke Rockhold is considered one of the elite at middleweight, his only blemishes are that of knockout losses to Vitor Belfort and Michael Bisping.
Kelvin knocked out both Vitor Belfort and Michael Bisping, trumping Luke’s performances over the two, and he’s here to remind Luke of that fact following Rockhold’s recent criticism.
