The report states that the UFC is aiming to have former UFC welterweight champ Johny Hendricks (17-4 MMA) take on rising contender Kelvin Gastelum (11-2 MMA) at the July 9 pay-per-view event.

Hendricks is coming off a first-round TKO loss to rising contender Stephen Thompson earlier this month.

Meanwhile, Kelvin Gastelum is also coming off a setback, this after losing a split-decision to Neil Magny in November.
