Gastelum: I think Brazilian fan support will be divided when I fight Jacare at UFC 224

Although his TKO victory over Vitor Belfort was overturned due to a positive drug test for marijuana back in 2017, the middleweight contender says he really connected with the Brazilian people when he faced ‘The Phenom’ back in March of last year.

Now, as Gastelum makes the final preparations to take on another veteran in Ronaldo Souza, Kelvin tells Combate he believes the crowd will be split in half when they both meet in the middle of the Octagon.

“I chose to fight in Brazil because I love it here and I wanted to fight here again,” Gastelum said.
