LOS ANGELES – UFC middleweight standout Kelvin Gastelum knows he’s going back on his word by fighting in Brazil. But given his choices, he feels comfortable with returning. “They gave me two options – fight in Chile (at UFC Fight Night 129) or fight in Brazil,” Gastelum (14-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) told reporters, including MMAjunkie, at a media day in support of his meeting with Ronaldo Souza (25-5 MMA, 8-2 UFC) at UFC 224, which takes place May 12 at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro and airs live on pay-per-view. Although Gastelum encountered trouble the last time he fought in Brazil, failing a post-fight drug test for marijuana and receiving a three-month suspension from USADA , he said he never lost his affinity for the country’s culture
