In a battle for the ages, Israel Adesanya defeated Kelvin Gastelum via unanimous decision after five thrilling and hard-fought rounds at UFC 236 to become the interim middleweight champion. On Twitter, pro fighters praised both men.
Kelvin needs (IMHO) to at least put the thought of a TD/grapple exchange or kick in Israel's head; it'll make his striking even more effective. #UFC236
