Gil Philip Castillo (born October 21, 1965) is a retired American mixed martial artist who has studied under Cesar Gracie.[1] He made his UFC debut at UFC 33 where he suffered a loss from Dave Menne via unanimous decision in a match to crown the first UFC Middleweight Champion. He then went on to a win at UFC 35 against Chris Brennan by unanimous decision, and gained his biggest claim to fame with his fight against Matt Hughes at UFC 40 for the UFC Welterweight Championship, which he lost via cut stoppage at the end of the first round.
