Former Interim Title Challenger Kelvin Gastelum Discusses His Reaction To His Hall Of Fame Induction

When Kelvin Gastelum and Israel Adesanya fought for the interim middleweight title in Atlanta at UFC 236, everyone watching knew it was an instant classic bound for the UFC Hall of Fame Fight Wing. For 25 minutes, the momentum swung back and forth like a pendulum. Gastelum put Adesanya on the backfoot and provided as much adversity as we’d seen the Nigerian-born New Zealander experience to that point of his Octagon career. Adesanya responded the way you’d want to see a champion do, standing his ground and pushing his way back into the fight.
