A middleweight clash between Kelvin Gastelum and Joe Pyfer will go down on the main card of UFC Mexico City, later tonight (March 29) at the Arena CDMX in Mexico D.F.
Gastelum (19-9 and 1 NC) needs no introduction. Despite churning out mixed results in recent years, the Arizona man was recently inducted into the fight section of The UFC Hall of Fame for his iconic clash against Israel Adesanya at UFC 236.
Gastelum is a true veteran of the sport and has shared the cage with promotional elites including Robert Whittaker, Jared Cannonier, Chris Weidman, and Michael Bisping. The 33-year-old was last seen in a unanimous decision win over Daniel Rodriguez in June.
