Impact Castaneda is going to watch this fight back and wonder what the heck he was doing. The first ten minutes were fairly uneventful outside of a Round 1 Gutierrez knockdown which wasn't all that damaging. Castaneda didn't attempt a single takedown until Round 3, at which point he got it with ease and easily won the frame. Unfortunately for him, two of the three judges gave each of the first two rounds to Gutierrez, leading to the defeat. Castaneda needs to use aggressiveness and grappling if he's to have any prolonged success. He's just 3-3 in his last six bouts dating back to February 2022.
