Kelvin Gastelum stops the iconic Vitor Belfort in the first round:

Kelvin Gastelum wants Anderson Silva after Belfort battering.

The main event of UFC Fight Night Fortaleza, sees a five round Middleweight clash between former UFC Light Heavyweight champ Vitor 'The Phenom' Belfort and The Ultimate Fighter season 17 victor Kelvin Gastelum. Veteran striker Belfort, is on a disappointing two fight slide, losing by knockout to both Gegard Mousasi, and compatriot Ronaldo 'Jacaré' Souza, while Gastelum returned to Middleweight after failing to make the 170lbs limit against Johny Hendricks, and failed to attempt to weigh in for his UFC 205 bout with Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone. His return to Middleweight has so far proved a success, finishing Tim Kennedy last time out with his fantastic boxing.

The opening round of this five round bout seen 'Big' John McCarthy the man in the middle. A tentative start from both with Vitor landing a good front kick to the body, and then landed a good, lighting quick combination. A good shot from Gastelum landed flush and stumbling Belfort, before the Brazilian missed a wheel kick, before Kelvin tagged him with a huge left hand, dropping the legend hard, but Belfort survived. Vitor then laid down some offence of his own, stinging Gastelum with a good right hand. A huge left hand knocked Belfort dead as Gastelum claimed the biggest win of his barter so far.
