The middleweight elimination bout will be on April 17 between former UFC champion Robert Whittaker and heavy hitter Kelvin Gastelum. The winner may have a chance to face champion Israel Adesanya. Australian Gastelum is a replacement for Paolo Costa who has a lingering effect of covid. Whittaker has a fight record of 22-5 while Gastelum has a record of 17-6. The betting odds are in favor of Whittaker at -265 while Gastelum is the underdog at +210.

I don't know that much about these two fighters but from what I have seen on youtube, Gastelum is my favorite.

Whittaker vs Gastelum is going to be a tough one. It could either way.

I went online and watched a couple of Gastelum's bout and I have to admit that he is a beast in disguise.

As expected of the big favorite in the betting, former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker showed his skills, quickness and power to beat Kelvin Gastelum in a lopsided decision for 5 rounds. In fairness to Gastelum, he was overmatched with the skill but not with the power considering that he replaced Paolo Costa on a short notice. Costa was hit by covid.

I really thought Gastelum was going to take this one. Shout out to Whittaker for putting up a good show. He deserves the win.

The co-main event of the evening was the fight between Jeremy Stephens and Drakkar Klose. But during the weight-in the day before, Stephens shoved Klose too hard that Klose suffered head concussion and sprained neck. On the day of the fight, Klose was hospitalized and was confined. Now this question about the situation – will Klose be paid of his purse for the fight that was cancelled?
