Middleweight striker Kelvin Gastelum is set to face Jared Cannonier at UFC Vegas 34 in UFC Apex, Las Vegas. For the last couple of years Gastelum has been fighting the top contenders, but lately struggling to embrace the winning streak. In his last five fight, he won only one against Ian Heinisch at UFC 258. Jared Cannonier has been growing steadily and won 3 of his last five matches.
Despite Kelvin Gastelum’s uncertain streak, he is still capable of winning a match. On the other hand, Cannonier should be looking to come back after his loss to Robert Whittaker at UFC 254. Although they are the headlined, there is not much money on the table. Let’s see how much they will earn.
