With Matt Brown being forced to pull from the event due to an ankle injury, Tyron Woodley needs a new opponent for UFC Fight Night 78. UFC is still working on a replacement for Brown, and Kelvin Gastelum has made it clear he wants the opportunity.
Gastelum and Woodley faced off back in January at UFC 183, with Woodley dealing Gastelum his first loss.

@KelvinGastelum @srkdaking point taken. Words dont have a voice. Seemed ungrateful. When I'm champ I'll be prepared to take on anyone!
