Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker is all set to take on Kelvin Gastelum this weekend at UFC on ESPN 22 at the UFC’s Apex facility in Las Vegas.

Robert Whittaker was initially scheduled to fight Paulo Costa, but the Brazilian had to pull out of the fight following the lingering effects of Covid-19.

Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum were initially booked to fight at UFC 234 in February of 2019 at the Rod Lavar Arena in Melbourne in Australia. The fight had to be cancelled after Robert Whittaker pulled out the fight with a hernia and twisted bowl.

Kelvin Gastelum then fought Israel Adesanya at UFC 236 in one of the best fights of 2019 and lost via decision. Since then Kelvin went 2-1 in the UFC with his most recent win coming against Ian Heinisch at UFC 258 last month.

Robert Whittaker vs Kelvin Gastelum

Whittaker lost his middleweight title to Israel Adesanya at UFC 243 and then went on to defeat Darren Till at UFC on ESPN 14 and then Jared Cannonier at UFC 254.

In the co-main event, Jeremy Stephens takes on the Drakkar Klose. This fight will take place at lightweight, as Jeremy Stephens decided to move up in weight class following a 0-4-1 run in his last five fights.
