Kelvin Gastelum struggled to perform at the UFC 273 event next weekend in Jacksonville, Florida. Nassourdine Imamov was originally supposed to be Kelvin’s opponent, but the performance had to be canceled due to visa problems.
It was speculated that the UFC could postpone that match to the fifth month, but Gastelum insisted on performing at the UFC 273 event. Dricus du Plessis was assigned to him as a substitute opponent, and yesterday you had the opportunity to read Gastelum's interview in which he stated that he never feels more ready and prepared a lot of innovations by training in the gym with Henry Cejudo.
However, Gastelum will be left without the much-desired performance. The ten-ranked middle-class challenger had to cancel his performance due to an injury of an unknown nature. Dricus du Plessis was left without an opponent, and an interesting story is connected with his performance.
The South African fighter was originally supposed to fight Chris Curtis, but Curtis canceled his performance. Du Plessis was then paired with Anthony Hernandez, a fighter who was supposed to fight Albert Duraev, but Duraev canceled his performance due to injury.
As Gastelum was left without a fight against the Imamov, the promotion decided to pair du Plessis and Gastelum, and Hernandez got a new opponent in the form of Josh Fremd.

After all, Gastelum also had to cancel his performance, and Dricus du Plessis was now left without an opponent.
