“This gives room for people to say that he didn’t want to lose weight on purpose. Who used this as a strategy because Kelvin Gastelum clearly wasn't dieting throughout his training camp. Daniel Rodriguez prepared to make 77 pounds, while Gastelum clearly wasn't doing that throughout camp. So, you become stronger, more athletic, recover from your training sessions faster and enter the fight stronger and heavier. They both had a tremendous fight, I thought Daniel Rodriguez should be proud of himself, he really pushed Gastelum to the limit. But Kelvin Gastelum, regarding his weight situation, he should be ashamed of himself,” Bisping said.

The duel with Daniel Rodriguez was initially scheduled to take place in the under-77kg division, however, during the week of the event, Gastelum contacted the organization and his rival's team, requesting that the fight be changed to under-84kg, stating that he would not be able to make the weight. previously agreed upon at the event's official weigh-in.
