Kelvin Gastelum vs. Yousri Belgaroui is official <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yousri Belgaroui was confirmed as Kelvin Gastelum\u2019s next opponent throughout the UFC Oklahoma City broadcast.<\/p>\n

The previous Glory kickboxer picked up a win over two-weight UFC champion Alex Pereira before switching sports in 2021.<\/p>\n

Since then, Belgaroui has amassed a 10-3 MMA record, which incorporates two knockout victories within the UFC. <\/p>\n

Standing at 6ft 5in, \u2018Baby Face Assassin\u2019 is the tallest middleweight on the roster, whereas Gastelum is considered one of the smallest.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to be a bizarre sight after they are within the Octagon together at Noche UFC later this 12 months.<\/p>\n

Five other fights have been officially announced ahead of the UFC\u2019s latest celebration of Mexican Independence Day.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s currently unclear who will headline the cardboard on the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.\u00a0<\/p>\n
