Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum were supposed to fight at UFC 234 back in February 2019. However, the fight was called off as ‘The Reaper’ suffered a severe medical emergency and required emergency surgery. Now, two years later, the middleweights will fight on April 17, as the main event at UFC Fight Night: Whittaker vs Gastelum.

Following his title fight defeat to Israel Adesanya in October 2019, ‘Bobby Knuckles’ has defeated Darren Till and Jared Cannonier. Meanwhile, Gastelum suffered three losses (one in an interim title fight against ‘The Last Stylebender‘) before claiming a victory against Ian Heinisch at UFC 258 in February.

Given Whittaker‘s spot at the top of the rankings, the one who wins this fight will get closer to a title shot against the UFC middleweight champion. 

Besides this long-awaited middleweight clash, this card has many exciting fights as well. Jeremy Stephens and Drakkar Klose will clash in a lightweight co-main event. Also, Andrei Arlovski and Chase Sherman will clash in a heavyweight bout. Meanwhile, Abdul Razak Alhassan and Jacob Malkoun will clash in a middleweight bout.
