UFC On Fox 25 Results: Chris Weidman Submits Kelvin Gastelum, Calls Out Michael Bisping

By Ryan Gray

Chris Weidman put an end to his three-fight losing streak on Saturday by submitting Kelvin Gastelum in round three of their main event fight at UFC on Fox 25 in Long, Island, New York. It was his first victory since defeating Vitor Belfort by TKO at UFC 187 in May 2015.

Weidman controlled much of the fight with takedowns, only running into trouble at the end of the first round when Gastelum landed a left that dropped him. Weidman, a New York native with full support from the Long Island crowd, was able to shake it off, finally catching Gastelum with a triangle choke in the third round to make him tap out.

After the fight, Weidman called out UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping by referring to him as a "British bum." You can watch the call-out embedded below:

In the co-main event, Darren Elkins defeated Dennis Bermudez by split decision in an evenly contested featherweight bout.
