Gastelum is ready to become a substitute in Whittaker vs Costa

American middleweight Kelvin Gastelum shared his emotions over Jan Heinisch, which ended his streak of three defeats. Also, the 29-year-old fighter expressed his readiness to insure the fight scheduled for April 17 between Robert Whittaker and Paulo Costa.

“I didn't even want to think about how important this fight was for me, because I could have shed a tear. I don't want to go into this. I'm just very glad that I managed to win and my hand was raised after the fight. I am grateful to my team and everyone who helped me to do this.

"I will have to talk to my team, management and Dana White to discuss what options are next. I have already noted that I am ready to speak if any of the participants in Whittaker vs Costa fight gets injured," Kelvin said at the press conference.
