The UFC is back this weekend with another Apex event before they journey off to a full arena in Florida. UFC Vegas 24 was supposed to be headlined a huge middleweight fight between former champion Robert Whittaker and former challenger Paulo Costa. Unfortunately, Costa’s lingering Covid effects led to him pulling out, and being replaced but TUF winner and former interim title challenger Kelvin Gastelum

The co-main event will see Drakkar Klose taking on Jeremy Stephens in a lightweight bout. This will be Stephens’ first official 155-pound bout since 2012 (he has missed the featherweight limit a couple of times and fought at a catchweight).
