Gastelum won a 5A Division II AIA state wrestling title out of Cibola High School[5] and continued to wrestle at North Idaho College, where he was ranked as high as fifth in the country (NJCAA) as a freshman before deciding to compete in mixed martial arts professionally.[4] He worked as a bail bondsman prior to training MMA full-time.[6][7]
Mixed martial arts career
Early career
After turning professional, Gastelum amassed an undefeated record of five wins (all finishes) and no losses before competing in The Ultimate Fighter.[8]
The Ultimate Fighter
In January 2013, it was announced that Gastelum was selected for The Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs. Team Sonnen.[9] To get into the TUF house, Gastelum defeated Kito Andrews by decision. During the choosing of teams, he was picked last by coach Chael Sonnen for Team Sonnen.
Gastelum's next fight in the house was against Bubba McDaniel.[10] He won in the second round via rear naked choke submission.[11]
In the quarterfinals, Gastelum would take on Collin Hart. He won the fight by TKO in the first round.[12]
In the semifinals, Gastelum fought Josh Samman. He won via first round rear naked choke, and advanced to the tournament finals.[13]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Gastelum faced teammate Uriah Hall in the finals at the Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale.[14] Gastelum won the fight via split decision, becoming the youngest winner in the show's history at 21 years old and earned a UFC contract. After the victory, Gastelum announced he would be moving down a weight class to compete in the UFC's welterweight division.[15]
Move to Welterweight
Gastelum was expected to face Paulo Thiago on August 28, 2013, at UFC Fight Night 27.[16] However, Thiago pulled out of the bout citing a knee injury and was replaced by Brian Melancon.[17] Gastelum finished Melancon via rear naked choke in the first round.[18]
Gastelum was expected to face Court McGee on December 14, 2013, at UFC on Fox 9, but was forced to withdraw due to a torn PCL.[19]
Gastelum faced Rick Story on March 15, 2014, at UFC 171.[20] He won the back-and-forth fight via split decision.[21]
Gastelum faced Nico Musoke on June 28, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 44.[22] Gastelum missed weight by one and three-quarter pounds and forfeited 20% of his fight purse to Musoke.[23] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[24]

Gastelum next faced Tyron Woodley on January 31, 2015, at UFC 183. He missed weight by 10 lbs and was fined 30% of his fight purse which would be given to Woodley.[28] He lost the fight via split decision. In the post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, Woodley said that he would not accept 30% of Gastelum's purse, as him missing weight and losing was enough punishment.[29]
Due to Gastelum not being able to make weight on two occasions while fighting in the welterweight division in the UFC, UFC president Dana White ordered Gastelum to move up to middleweight.[30] In his return to middleweight, Gastelum faced Nate Marquardt at UFC 188 on June 13, 2015.[31] He won the fight via TKO after Marquardt's corner stopped the fight between the second and third round.[32]
Gastelum was expected to face Matt Brown in a welterweight bout on November 21, 2015, at The Ultimate Fighter Latin America 2 Finale.[33] However, Brown withdrew from the fight due to an ankle injury suffered in training.[34] He was replaced by Neil Magny.[35] Gastelum lost the fight by split decision.[36] Both participants earned Fight of the Night honors.[37]
Gastelum was scheduled to face Kyle Noke on January 2, 2016 at UFC 195,[38] however, Gastelum pulled out due to a wrist injury and was replaced by Alex Morono.[39]
Gastelum was expected to face Donald Cerrone at UFC 205 but, on the day of the weigh-ins, Gastelum did not make an attempt to formally make the 171 lb limit and the bout was scrapped.[42][43] This made it the third time Gastelum failed to make the welterweight limit, prompting Dana White to say that he will "never let him fight at 170 again".[44]
Return to Middleweight
Gastelum returned to middleweight and faced Tim Kennedy on December 10, 2016 at UFC 206.[45] He won the fight via TKO in the third round.[46]

Gastelum was expected to face Anderson Silva at UFC 212.[50] However, he was pulled from the event after USADA learned he tested positive for high levels of marijuana metabolite Carboxy-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Carboxy-THC) above the 180 mL allowance by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) from his previous drug test for his bout against Belfort.[51] On May 7, Gastelum's win over Belfort was officially overturned to a "No Contest" and he was suspended 90 days (retroactive to the March 11 test date).[52] The Performance of the Night which Gastelum had been awarded against Vitor Belfort was also rescinded.

Gastelum faced Darren Till at UFC 244 in New York City, New York on November 2, 2019.[70] Subsequent to the event's weigh-ins, the NYSAC issued a rare statement that they would be pursuing disciplinary action against Gastelum. Per the statement, the Athletic Commission stated upon review of Gastelum's weigh-in video that they "determined that Mr. Gastelum made contact with another person while on the scale, a violation of the weigh in policy. As the result, Gastelum and his coach, Rafael Cordeiro, were fined $1,000 and $200 respectively by New York State Athletic Commission.[71] The official weight determination would not be disturbed, and Mr. Gastelum would not be disqualified from competing in UFC 244."[72] He lost the fight via split decision.[73] Gastelum was suspended by USADA for 9 months for testing positive for marijuana in relation to his bout with Darren Till at UFC 244 in November 2019 but the suspension was reduced to five months after Gastelum's successful completion of a drug treatment program.[74]
