Kelvin Gastelum at weigh-ins for UFC Vegas 34.Kelvin Gastelum is set for his UFC return.
Alex Behunin of MMA Mania reports that Gastelum and Chris Curtis are expected to fight at UFC 287, the upcoming pay-per-view event scheduled for April 8. Both fighters have since confirmed the report on their respective social media accounts.
Expected to return against Nassourdine Imavov at UFC Vegas 67 in January, Gastelum was forced to withdraw after suffering a mouth injury during a final sparring session. The 31-year-old needed stitches to sew his teeth ‘back on,’ so his appearance at the first UFC event of 2023 was canceled.
