With the UFC making its Long Island debut later this month, the promotion is leaning heavy on New York-based fighters on the evening’s main card. UFC officials recently released the full broadcast plans for UFC on FOX 25, which takes place on July 22 at NYCB LIVE in Uniondale, N.Y. The evening’s four-fight main card airs on FOX following four preliminary bouts on the same network, as well as five early prelims on UFC Fight Pass. In the night’s main event, New York native and former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman (13-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) “The Ultimate Fighter 17” winner Kelvin Gastelum (13-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC). It’s a must-win for Weidman, who after rattling off 13 straight victories to open his professional career has now dropped three consecutive fights via knockout.
