UFC on Fox 25 Weidman vs. Gastelum: Fight Card & Odds

July 22, 2017

Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum

Long Island, New York

Main Card on FOX:

#7 Chris Weidman (13-3) +150 vs. Kelvin Gastelum (13-2, 1) -160

The "All-American" has had 3 consecutive finish losses in a row and is on the brink of disaster. Weidman will call on the power of grease and bronzer as he fights in his homeland of Long Island, New York which should help with his confidence. Chris has never been short on self belief but his recent disastrous outings have got to be weighing on his mind at this point. The Serra-Longo fighter has good boxing, but he's slow for the division and often hittable. The wrestling game is always spoken of but rarely used by Weidman these days. 

On the other side of things, Gastelum is beaming with confidence having won all 3 of his Middleweight outings (MMAFO recognizes his win over Vitor Belfort as Marijuana is not a PED) and looks to be finding his groove at the new weight class. 

Gastelum has never been finished and taking Weidman into rounds 4 and 5 could show an advantage for Kelvin as Chris is generally running on low power by then. The striking will be near even but again, Weidman is very hittable while Gastelum has been showing improved defense. Could this be the classic veteran on the way down, youth on the way up meeting?
