When Kelvin Gastelum called out Anderson Silva after Gastelum defeated Vitor Belfort in the main event of UFC Fight Night 106, he never would have imagined the fight would be signed just a few days later.

“I thought it was going to be a problem,” Gastelum said on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour. “I thought he wasn’t going to sign, next thing I know he’s posting this video of him signing it and waving his head like a weirdo.”

Even with the fight signed, sealed, and delivered for UFC 212 in Rio de Janeiro on June 3, Gastelum still can’t quite believe he’s actually going to be fighting the man many consider the greatest pound-for-pound fighter in MMA history, much less on the legend’s home turf.

“This is still something that I have to let sink in,” Gastelum said. “Over the next few months I’m going to have to really convince myself it’s happening. It’s kind of a big deal. I thought the Vitor Belfort fight was bigger. This was a whole ‘nother level. I’m fighting the greatest of all-time, it’s like fighting Mike Tyson.”

Capitalizing on a old geezers legend is pretty despicable imo. Shame on this guy for this 'call out'.
