UFC Fight Night time: When does Imavov vs Gastelum start in UK and US this weekend?
Nassourdine Imavov and Kelvin Gastelum will go head to head in the main event of this weekend’s UFC Fight Night.
The middleweight bout pits the division’s 12th-ranked fighter, Imavov, against No 13, in Gastelum.
Frenchman Imavov last fought in September, outpointing Joaquin Buckley in front of a raucous home crowd at UFC Paris to improve his record to 12-3, while American Gastelum last competed in August 2021, suffering a fifth loss in six fights as he was beaten on points by Jared Cannonier.
Gastelum (16-8, 1 No Contest), a former interim title challenger at 185lbs, will look to start his long climb back to the top of the division here, though he knows he faces a tough test against a highly-touted prospect.
Here’s all you need to know ahead of the event at the UFC’s Apex institute in Las Vegas.
