Kelvin Gastelum

As expected, Anderson Silva and Kelvin Gastelum will fight at the UFC’s inaugural event in Shanghai, China, November 25th. The promotion recently confirmed that the match-up will headline the upcoming card.

Silva and Gastelum were scheduled to fight earlier this year at UFC 212 in June, but Gastelum was pulled from the bout, after he received a USADA flag for marijuana. The former TUF winner is coming off a submission loss to Chris Weidman, which snapped Gastelum’s three fight, undefeated streak.

Silva, meanwhile, earned a decision win over Derek Brunson in his last outing, which was the former middleweight champ’s first win since 2012.
