After a winless 2016 (0-2), Vitor Belfort looks to get back on track against one of the hottest middleweights in Kelvin Gastelum. UFC Fight Night 106’s main event is set for Brazil on Saturday.
Gastelum reluctantly moved to middleweight after another failed weight cut, but it’s worked out for him thus far. He clobbered Tim Kennedy at UFC 206 and moved to No. 10 in the official UFC rankings. A win over Belfort, who’s at No. 9, would put Gastelum right in the hunt for a title shot.
The matchup is a crossroads fight for Belfort. On the brink of turning 40, Belfort‘s window of opportunity is quickly closing.
Will Gastelum shut that window for good on Saturday, or does “The Phenom” have a little left in the gas tank?
Let’s break down the action from head to toe to see how the two middleweight contenders stack up to one another.
