UFC Vegas 24: Whittaker vs. Gastelum Odds, Schedule, Predictions

Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum are set to headline the UFC's latest offering from the Apex facility in Las Vegas on Saturday in an important middleweight main event.

Whittaker—who comes in ranked as the No. 1 middleweight—was slated to fight Paulo Costa in what would have been Costa's first bout since losing to Israel Adesanya. Unfortunately, an illness moved him off the card, so we get a fight against Kelvin Gastelum instead.

The fight will have middleweight title implications, as Whittaker has put together back-to-back wins since his loss to Adesanya.

The co-main event features the return of Drakkar Klose after more than a year away from the Octagon.
