LOS ANGELES – Kelvin Gastelum experienced a variety of different emotions when he watched Israel Adesanya finish Robert Whittaker at UFC 243 on Saturday night. Ranging from disappointed to respectful to confident and motivated, Gastelum was feeling all sorts of ways when the belt was wrapped around Adesanya’s waist. Originally scheduled to face Whittaker at UFC 234 in February, Gastelum ended up losing an interim title fight to Adesanya when the champion withdrew due to injury. In one of the unofficial best fights of the year, Gastelum and Adesanya stood toe-to-toe for five rounds
