MMA Junkie reports that a middleweight fight between Anderson Silva (34-8 MMA, 17-4 UFC) and Kelvin Gastelum (14-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) will happen at the UFC’s debut in Shanghai, China at the Mercedes-Benz Arena on November 25. The fight was initially set to happen at UFC 212 in Rio de Janeiro, but Gastelum was pulled after testing positive for marijuana metabolites in a test from a fight with Vitor Belfort. A replacement wasn’t found for Silva, who was left off the card. Gastelum later suggested the fight happen at UFC on FOX 25, but he fought Chris Weidman instead.
