UFC 212 (3 juni)

The fight to unify the featherweight titles finally appears to be set. After Max Holloway defeated Anthony Pettis for the interim UFC 145-pound title at UFC 206, he called out champion Jose Aldo for a unification bout at UFC 208. They weren’t able to put that together, but it appears they are set to go at UFC 212 in Brazil.

Kelvin Gastelum called out Anderson Silva for the UFC’s next Brazil pay-per-view card. Now, he’s got him.

Silva will face Gastelum at UFC 212 on June 3 in Rio de Janeiro, the UFC announced Tuesday. The news was first reported by Combate’s Ana Hissa earlier Tuesday.

The UFC is desperately looking at a replacement opponent for MMA legend Anderson Silva at UFC 212 after his original opponent, Kelvin Gastelum, was pulled from the pay-per-view after testing positive for marijuana metabolites.

Luke Rockhold and Vitor Belfort were thrown into the mix, but it looks like the UFC has their sights set on No. 8 ranked light heavyweight contender, Ovince Saint Preux, according to a recent report from Brazilian MMA outlet Combate.
