BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Robert Whittaker vs. Kelvin Gastelum:

Vicente Luque, UFC welterweight: That is an interesting fight. I like both fighters but I’m going with Whittaker. He has looked good as of late and I see him winning a decision and getting that rematch.

Jim Miller, UFC lightweight: I’m going to go with Whittaker. He is the more well-rounded fighter.

Drakkar Klose, UFC lightweight: I think Whittaker will get it done. I think he can mix in his wrestling and striking.

Alonzo Menifield, UFC light heavyweight: I like Whittaker. He is the more well-rounded fighter but Gastelum has freakish power, I just think Whittaker is better.

Randy Brown, UFC welterweight: Gastelum by decision. It will be a back-and-forth fight.

Joe Solecki, UFC lightweight: Whittaker is a tough guy to pick against, but I think Gastelum is a bad style matchup for Whittaker.

Grant Dawson, UFC lightweight: Robert Whittaker. Kelvin Gastelum is a very good fighter but I don’t think he is the same since the fight with Adesanya. Whittaker is on another level and will get the job done.

Adrian Yanez, UFC bantamweight: I think Robert Whittaker, and I think he takes it by decision. He is too well-rounded for Gastelum.

Jeff Molina, UFC flyweight: That is a tough one, man. I’ll take Whittaker on that one, Gastelum is really good but I don’t see a way he beats Whittaker.
