There’s no possibility those both guys were training during quarantine. I don’t believe that. Fuck ugly fight pic.twitter.com/KEs9oVUH4M

Having shared the octagon with both those guys…the mental aspect of the fights is almost a grueling as the physical. Constantly have to be on your toes entire 25 mins. Great win @robwhittakermma #UFCFightIsland3

Striking judge gives the 5th to till for the blood, wrestling judge gives it to Rob on takedowns. Big question here is what discipline does the 3rd judge favor

We were supposed to fight for the title. This is a man that has gained my respect & admiration. But @robwhittakermma and I have unfinished business. Alright I’m coming off 3 losses.
I know the fans would love this. #UFCFightIsland3— #OnAmission4Gold (@KelvinGastelum) July 26, 2020
