UFC 234: Whittaker vs. Gastelum Weigh-in Video and Results

On Saturday, Feb. 9 (in North America), the UFC will host UFC 234: Whittaker vs. Gastelum from the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia.

In the night’s main event, middleweight champion Robert Whittaker puts his belt on the line against Kelvin Gastelum. The Australia-based Kiwi Whittaker has reeled off nine straight wins, including eight in a row since moving up to 185 pounds. His last four fights have earned performance bonuses, including his back-to-back wins over Yoel Romero. Gastelum, meanwhile, enters the bout on the heels of a split-decision win over former Strikeforce champion Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza last May.

The evening’s co-headliner features undefeated kickboxing stalwart Israel Adesanya against former middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva.
