Due to a problem with his gallbladder, which meant he had to undergo a hasty operation, Anderson Silva ended up leaving the fight against Uriah Hall at UFC 198 at the last minute, just a few days before the fight. However, if it depends on the Ultimate organization, the confrontation will simply be postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. Who guarantees this is also the Ultimate fighter Kelvin Gastelum.

“I spoke to Uriah, he was upset about the cancellation of the fight, but he has his head held high. I think they will try to reschedule the fight. I don't know for what event, but that's what I think they have in mind. UFC 200 would be perfect for Anderson and Uriah to fight. It’s going to be a great fight, so they deserve a great card, but Dana will solve things”, said Gastelum, in an interview with the “Combate” channel website.
Gastelum and Hall met at the reality show house The Ultimate Fighter 17. On that occasion, the fighters made the final of the program and Kevin surprised the favorite Uriah, winning the season title. Since then, the two have become friends and the American of Mexican descent even came to Brazil to be in the corner of the Jamaican living in the USA.
In addition to the issue involving Hall and Silva, Gastelum also spoke about his next fight, against the former welterweight champion John hendricks at UFC 200 in July. “This is a very important fight for me. I couldn't be more excited. That's why I'm in the UFC, to have these big fights. I want to fight the best and this is an opportunity to show that I deserve to be at the top of the welterweight division. This fight will put me in the same place I was a year ago. Back at the top, sixth or seventh in the category and that's where I want to be. I want to climb the rankings, I want these big fights and I want these big challenges”, he concluded.
