UFC on Fox 25 card: Full list of undercard fights for Weidman vs. Gastelum

UFC on Fox 25: Weidman vs. Gastelum is set to go down on Long Island on Saturday. The free televised card features a main event between Chris Weidman and Kelvin Gastelum and a full slate of undercard bouts that are more than worth your time. The co-feature will see featherweights Dennis Bermudez and Darren Elkins face off.

The main card is set for 8 p.m. ET on Fox and will be preceded by two hours of prelims, also on Fox. As usual, there will be UFC Fight Pass prelims live streaming prior to that, beginning at 4 p.m. Live streaming of the night’s bouts can be found at Fight Pass, UFC.TV, the UFC YouTube and Fox Sports GO.

Weidman has dropped his last three fights since losing his middleweight title, and he’ll be in free fall if he loses to Gastelum on Saturday. Gastelum has some quality wins under his belt, including a decision over Johny Hendricks and a knockout of Vitor Belfort that was overturned when he tested positive for marijuana.

Gastelum has been considered a middle-of-the-road fighter, and though Weidman has three straight losses, he’s still a former champion. A win over Weidman would be huge for him, while a win for Weidman would just be the first stepping stone back to title contention.

Bermudez last fought in February, when he had a two-fight winning streak stopped in a knockout loss to Chan Sung Jung. He’s 16-6 as a pro, while Elkins is 22-5 and coming off four consecutive wins.

Patrick Cummins will face Gian Villante in the second fight on the main card. Cummins had two straight knockout losses to Glover Teixeira and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira going into his last fight, a majority decision win over Jan Blachowicz. He’s 9-4 as a pro and desperately needs to keep winning.

Villante is 15-8 and coming off a TKO loss to Mauricio Rua. He’s alternated wins and losses in his last six fights, so if that’s anything to go by, he’s due for a win.

The main card will open with a bantamweight bout between Jimmie Rivera and Thomas Almeida.

Below is the full list of fights for Saturday’s card, and below that is what you need to know to watch the action.
