Video: Kelvin Gastelum has teeth sewn back in after UFC Vegas 67 withdrawal

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.
