Kelvin Gastelum issues statement after UFC 244 loss, plans to make ‘real changes’

Facing the first losing streak of his career, Kelvin Gastelum believes it’s time for a change.

Gastelum fell to Darren Till by split decision in the co-main event of UFC 244 on Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York City, a result that had to be considered disappointing given the strong five-round showing he had against Israel Adesanya in their interim middleweight title bout this past April.

Known for his relentless pace, Gastelum failed to establish a rhythm against Till and the 28-year-old now finds himself having to deal with consecutive losses.
