Kelvin Gastelum is not fighting at UFC 273 next weekend.
After suffering an undisclosed injury, Gastelum has been forced to withdraw from his fight against Dricus Du Plessis at the upcoming pay-per-view event. The UFC announced the news on Friday evening.
The No. 10 ranked middleweight contender was scheduled to fight Nassourdine Imavov, but the promising prospect withdrew over visa issues. Gastelum was then given a short-notice replacement in the aforementioned Du Plessis, who was originally expected to face Chris Curtis before ‘The Action Man’ sustained a wrist injury in training.
