Kelvin Gastelum is bringing in the big guns to help him with his upcoming clash at Noche UFC.

Coming up short in four of his last six fights, Gastelum is in desperate need of a victory. That’s why the former interim title challenger is enlisting the help of reigning middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev.

Well, to be specific, one of Chimaev’s wrestling coaches.

Even more specifically, NCAA Division I All-American and mixed martial arts prospect Pat Downey.

“Just super impressive how dominant that was, right? I mean his wrestling was, you know, nobody’s been able to do that to DDP, you know, and these are some of the best guys that he’s fought,” Gastelum told MMA Fighting.
