Whittaker Adesanya 2 will be a very solid fight

Kelvin is so fierce that he took this fight in a short time and still does not back down in round 5.

Whittaker only shoots Gastelum every time he comes forward in range. I have to break the rhythm. You can’t go in without feelings and posture changes to such high level footwork. # UFCVegas24

You must be happy for Arlovski. Great win!

The canvas is slippery! Thank you! It’s not easy to fight without your feet underneath. # UFCVegas24
