A middleweight fight between Kelvin Gastelum and Ian Heinisch will be added to an upcoming UFC Fight Night card in January. According to a report by Brett Okamoto of ESPN, Gastelum and Heinisch have agreed to the fight and both men have since confirmed the news on social media.
Gastelum (15-6) has made just one appearance inside the Octagon in 2020 against Jack Hermansson at UFC Fight Island 2: Figueiredo vs. Benavidez 2, where he was submitted by way of heel hook in 78 seconds. The loss, which left Gastelum feeling ‘truly embarrassed’ afterwards, was the third straight for the No.
