Gastelum already had a scheduled bout against Jorge Masvidal in Mexico, but the former champion Robbie Lawler was injured and was presented the opportunity for the Aztec warrior obtain an opportunity in the long-awaited billboard.

“When I heard that Robbie Lawler was injured, I was sending messages to Dana White,” said Gastelum. “But as I had a scheduled fight, they (UFC) did not want to it give me and they (UFC) were trying to negotiate with Diaz, but failed to reach an agreement and left me.”
