Two top 10 contenders in the middleweight division will meet when Jared Cannonier and Kelvin Gastelum face off in the main event of UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas tonight.

Both men are coming off defeats to the same opponent, Robert Whittaker, but could propel themselves into contention for a middleweight title shot with a victory here.

Cannonier (13-5) suffered a unanimous points defeat to Whittaker at UFC 254 last October while Gastelum (17-7) was on the same end of the same result in April.

Before then, Cannonier had secured an impressive run of victories over Jack Hermansson, Anderson Silva and David Branch while Gastelum has gone 1-4 over his last five fights, including a defeat to Israel Adesanya at UFC 236 in April 2019.
