“It Was Nice Knowing Y’all Fam”: Kelvin Gastelum Makes Cryptic Twitter Announcement – UFC Star Victim of Viral TikTok Trend?

UFC middleweight Kelvin Gastelum did not have the best beginning to 2023. The 31-year-old had to pull out of the first UFC main event of the year after a last-minute injury. He then got into a Twitter spat with Conor McGregor over the latter’s comments about Gastelum’s injury update.

Gastelum has a notable social media presence. Recently, the #13 ranked middleweight went after TikTokers for a recent controversial trend that the platform popularized.

Recently, female TikTokers have been posting videos of themselves in the gym where they catch men staring at them. The trend received a lot of backlash for its mountains-out-of-molehills approach. Now, Gastelum has also given his share of criticism.

Gastelum trolls viral TikTok trend

Kelvin Gastelum took to Twitter to note his reproach for the viral gym TikTok trend. The trend sees men labeled creeps for even looking in the general direction of female TikTokers who were working out and filming it. Several users on social media, including pros from the fitness industry and MMA, have slammed the obnoxious trend.

Now Gastelum has joined the fray with a hilarious tweet.

“I was in the gym and after I got done with my set. I look up and there was a cell phone staring right at me. It was nice knowing y’all fam,” wrote Gastelum.

The California native has his fun on Twitter and did so with this take on TikTok as well. While he may not have had a dream start to 2023, the #13 ranked middleweight now has another fight scheduled for UFC 287.

Kelvin Gastelum’s next fight

After an injury forced him out of his main event in January against Nassourdine Imavov, Kelvin Gastelum will face Chris Curtis at UFC 287. The PPV will go down on April 8 and will have the rematch between Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira for the middleweight title as the main event.

Currently, on a two-fight skid, Gastelum has lost five out of his last six bouts. His last outing at the UFC was in August 2021 against Jared Cannonier. Once an interim title challenger against Israel Adesanya, the road to the title is long for the 31-year-old at the moment.
