JAKARTA UFC star Conor McGregor seems very happy with the facial injury suffered by mid-range fighter Kelvin Gastelum.

Kelvin is scheduled to fill the UFC Vegas 67 against Nassourdine Imavov on Sunday, January 15. However, the duel was canceled because he suffered facial injuries.

In the photos circulating before he underwent dental surgery, the 31-year-old fighter looks toothless. In addition, on his left cheek there is also a large lump like acne scars.

It was this lump that later became the subject of McGregor's run. In a post on his personal Instagram, The Notorious claims the lump was a staph infection.

"It's really dirty. There's a STAph infection in his face. It's really a huge hole," McGregor wrote over the Kelvin photo on Instagram Story.

"And this is both an attempt to enter a competition like this. Clean the mats and yourself and then go to a doctor! You are dirty," he added.

Previously, Kelvin, who was the winner of the Ultimate Fighter season 17, had written on Twitter regarding his disappointment at not being able to appear at UFC's first major event in 2023.

"I am very disappointed. This is not what I wanted to start 2023. I worked hard and struggled to show an amazing show this weekend," he wrote.

"I apologize to Imavov, his camp and @ufc and all the fans," he added.

Kevin's resignation forced the UFC to look for another fighter to fight Nassourdine Imavov. Sean
