Fight Record and Present History
After just fighting in 2018, Robert Whittaker (20-4) is back and ready to defend his belt on home land. He’s now riding a nine-fight winning streak dating back to June of 2014 and is undefeated at middleweight at the UFC. Whittaker won the interim middleweight name over Yoel Romero in UFC 213 in July of 2017 and was encouraged to undisputed champion in December after Georges St-Pierre vacated the name. His last fight was UFC 225 in June where he conquered Yoel Romero again by split-decision.
Kelvin Gastelum (15-3, with one no-contest) will probably be fighting for the UFC title for the first time in his profession. Gastelum is really on a two-fight winning series after rapping out Michael Bisping in November of 2017 and then defeating Jacare Souza by split-decision in May.
