The UFC acted quickly and has already defined the replacement for Anderson Silva, who was removed from the fight against Kelvin Gastelum after being caught in a new anti-doping test. The one who takes his place is the former champion Michael Bisping, who will face Gastleum in the main fight of UFC China, in Shanghai, on November 25th. The information is from the 'MMA Fighting' website.

Bisping was finished by Georges St Pierre on November 4th, in New York (USA), in the most important attraction of UFC 217. The setback cost him the middleweight belt, won by the Englishman in June 2016, when he knocked out Luke Rockhold. Before the defeat to GSP, he had defended the title on just one occasion, in the points victory against Dan Henderson, in October last year. In total, there are 20 positive results and eight negative results in the organization.
Gastelum, 25 years old, has an MMA record of 14 wins, three setbacks and one no contest. The North American won the 17th edition of TUF, the UFC's reality show, at welterweight (up to 77 kg.), in 2013. But after difficulties in reaching the category limit, he moved up to the middleweight division and added three triumphs and only one loss, against Chris Weidman, last July, in his last performance.
