Kelvin Gastelum issues statement after UFC 244 loss, plans to make ‘real changes’
Esther Lin, MMA Fighting Kelvin GastelumFacing 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. He took to social media late in the evening to address his performance.
