He's a great striker but no, his striking is so effective because he's an overall complete fighter. He's good to great everywhere.

But there are handfuls of MW strikers technically better like Whittiker etc.
 
don't be stupid

but he has got a solid coach in master rafael
 
I love me some Kelvin, but I'd go with Bobby Knuckles.
 
he got outstruck by Weidman though.

hell, Kelvin is still waiting for an opening to throw his cocked right hand.

hopefully he learned that fight to throw more combo's.
 
He has good striking for mma. But he isn't anywhere near great.
 
It’s him or whittaker
His striking and striking defense is keep improving each fight.in the Bisping fight,he only got tagged like 4 times

Here’s some striking defense from gastelum in the Bisping fight
block two punches with his hand then catch the leg kick

block 1 punch with his hand then slip the other two

Whittaker has for more diversity in strikes. All kelvin has is a beautiful 1-2.

he got outstruck only afted weidman wrestled him to death. before that, it was all kelvin in the standup. anyway weidman is legit one of the best mw's in the world. no shame in losing to a beast like him. gas is very young. he will learn.
 
Gastelum is a beast. One of the smallest MWs out there, yet still one of the toughest fights for anyone in the division. He'll be Middleweight Champ less than a year from now.
 
he's def in the top 3. romero and whittaker are obviously right there as well. whittaker/gastelum is a dream matchup. hope it happens should they both win in the next month
