Andrew Karlov June 10, 2019, 10:22 a.m.

At UFC 236 Kelvin Gastelum lost to Israel Adesanya. The interim middleweight title of the promotions and tittleshot were at the stake in this fight. Thus, Adesanya won the right to fight with reigning champion Robert Whittaker. It is expected that their fight will take place in October. Gastelum wrote in his Twitter post, in which he expressed hope for a rematch with Adesanya.

"It's hard to say, but I express respect to Israel. He really made a step forward, when I could not. He showed his big heart. So, I think he will cope (with Whittaker - editorial note) and it will allow to organize our rematch, which I will win."
