UFC on Fox: Weidman vs. Gastelum (also known as UFC on Fox 25) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship held on July 22, 2017 at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.[2]

Background

The event was the first that the UFC has hosted on Long Island.[2]

The event was headlined by a middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman and The Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs. Team Sonnen middleweight winner Kelvin Gastelum.[3]

A featherweight bout between former UFC Featherweight Championship challengers Ricardo Lamas and Chan Sung Jung was originally in the works to headline or co-headline this event.[4] The pairing was originally slated to take place in July 2013 at UFC 162, but Jung was pulled from the bout in favor of a title fight against then champion José Aldo at UFC 163.[5] On May 12, the bout was confirmed for UFC 214.[6]

A light heavyweight bout between Gian Villante and Patrick Cummins was originally booked for UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Abdurakhimov in December 2016. However, Cummins pulled out a week before the event due to a staph infection.[7] The fight eventually took place at this event.[8]

A heavyweight bout between Christian Colombo and Damian Grabowski was expected to take place at UFC Fight Night: Gustafsson vs. Teixeira. However, the pairing was scrapped as both fighters sustained injuries in the weeks leading up to the event.[9] The fight was rescheduled to take place at this event.[10] Subsequently, Colombo was removed from the fight on June 22 for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Chase Sherman.[11]

Alessio Di Chirico was expected to face Rafael Natal, but pulled out in the weeks leading up to the event due to a neck injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Eryk Anders.[12]
