UFC star Kelvin Gastelum recently met WWE legend Rey Mysterio at UFC 290, and the Mexican-American couldn't help fawning over the professional wrestler.

Rey Mysterio, real name Óscar Gutiérrez Rubio, attended the UFC 290 pay-per-view event two weeks ago at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. He was among the numerous high-profile personalities that frequented the UFC's significant events and linked up with Gastelum at the arena.

In a recent video posted on Twitter, Kelvin Gastelum showcased his inner fanboy after meeting Rey Mysterio and praised the WWE legend for his humility. The video showed the two men embracing and sharing a few kind words with each other before posing together for a photo. Gastelum can be heard saying:

"Oh my god. It's a pleasure brother. Bro, you are a legend man. Oh my f**king god. I can't believe I'm meeting you bro."

Meanwhile, Kelvin Gastelum is slated to face Shavkat Rakhmonov in a welterweight bout at UFC Fight Night: Grasso vs. Shevchenko 2 on September 16 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The No.12-ranked middleweight is coming off a win against Chris Curtis at UFC 287.
