The former middleweight champion ended a three-fight skid in the UFC on Fox 25 main event, as he submitted Kelvin Gastelum with an arm-triangle choke 3:45 into the third round at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, N.Y. on Saturday night. The “All-American” survived a knockdown late in round one, and he gradually imposed his will through his grappling and wrestling.
