Kelvin Gastelum and Israel Adesanya had an absolute war with each other at UFC 236. The duo tore the roof down in what many believe might even be an early contender for Fight of the Year. With such a tough battle, both these warriors surely seem to have earned each others’ respect. Both Adesanya as well as Gastelum took to social media platforms to express massive respect towards each other.
Below is a short excerpt from what Gastelum had to say:
I left it all out there. @stylebender was the better man last night ! Congratulations to him. I know our paths will cross again!
Here’s what Adesanya replied with:
It came down to the wire…we both put in on for the culture of fighting. You know me and I know you now, this is the fights movies are made of, that 5th round was some legendary shit. It was only possible cuz I had a man as tough as @KelvinGastelum to dance with.
So thank you KG
