Kelvin Gastelum had an appointment with Nassourdine Imavov at UFC Vegas 67 on Saturday, but he had to cancel and schedule a new one — not with Imavov, though. Instead of the UFC APEX, Gastelum found himself at a dental office.
Ahead of his return to the Octagon, The UFC middleweight was forced to withdraw against Imavov for a ‘mouth injury’ he suffered during a sparring session. Aside from that, details were sparse, but Gastelum showed the extent of the damage on social media shortly after.
A picture showed Gastelum with one less tooth in his mouth, as evidenced by the gap and blood left behind after the sparring session.
