Kelvin Gastelum continued his dominance in the middleweight division, knocking out future Hall of Famer Vitor Belfort in the main event of UFC Fortaleza Saturday night in Brazil.
Following his win, Gastelum proceeded to call out Anderson Silva and continue his “legends ass-whipping tour.” Gastelum beat former Strikeforce title challenger Tim Kennedy at UFC 206 in December.
In the co-main event, former UFC light-heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua extended his winning streak to three with a TKO victory over Gian Villante. Also on the main card, Edson Barboza added another highlight-reel knockout to his resume as he put Beneil Dariush away with a devastating flying knee.
Kevin Lee, Joe Soto and Canadian Jeremy Kennedy earned notable victories on the preliminary card.
