Chris Weidman isn’t the only one who wasn’t too impressed with Israel Adesanya’s performance against Anderson Silva at UFC 234.
Adesanya, a former kickboxer, earned a clear-cut unanimous decision over Silva at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, cementing himself as a top-five middleweight talent.
Top-four contender Kelvin Gastelum, however, who is hailing himself the official middleweight champion after Robert Whittaker pulled out of their championship bout at UFC 234 due to injury, expected better from ‘The Last Stylebender’ in Saturday’s main event.
“I don’t see what momentum you’re talking about,” Gastelum said on a recent edition of the Ariel Helwani MMA Show, per MMA Mania’s Adam Guillen Jr.
