That Gastelum is a genuine hard man and gives his all every fight, got to be a crowd favourite.
He's limited
@@sugarsaint he’s too small for middleweight, he should take a year out and diet down to be a welterweight if he can afford to
He’s a warrior but very short
Just a bit small but hard as nails
@@fitzyfamily4788 he’s only like 5,8 that’s very small! Tbf cannoniere is like 6,1
Gastellum is one of those rare guys who could go 0-10 and we would still pay to see his fights, he’s been entertaining in every single one 👍
He fought killers in top 10.
Gastelum will wreck usman!
@@kusukacolaylowlee1611 Gastelum is too heavy for Usman lol obviously he'd win.
Israel hardest fight to date is K.G
@@kusukacolaylowlee1611 wrong
The losing streak doesn’t not reflect how good these loses where. What a warrior.
yeah he's so damn good and tough fighting these super elite contenders every time. i love him.
@@leebrandon3842 I think he needs to move back down !
Facts
@J Scott 100%. It's really not his division. If he took care of his fitness full-time like a pro, he wouldn't have a problem making WW. His aggression and boxing has caused problems for big MWs, so he could cause serious damage dropping back down.
@@akadapper think about it man. His fitness is fine he just dosent cut weight. Don't be fooled by his flab, if it was regular fat he wouldn't be able to go 25 minutes But I do agree he'll be even better at Welterweight with his current skill
Every shot from Cannonier looks like it takes a week off of your lifetime.
Yet hes the one that has to sit out now not Kelvin
@@Rory695 he won the fight…….
@@alexb5812 look at the medical suspensions
Scary lethal weapons
@@Rory695 that has to do with injuries sustained not damage taken, and Jared clearly landed more damage.
Never been disappointed with a gastellun fight.
VS Darren Till
Vs Hermansson
Vs Adesanya
Vs cannonier
Vs till! I expected till to clean him out!
Years from now.. when people are looking down on Kelvin's record... real MMA fans will remember how good he truly was 💪
He's good, but not that good. However, he's a tough guy to take out easily!!
Yeah all those losses make him seem really good. 🤦♂️🤡
For his seize as well competeting in a weight he's not supposed to be in that what him so impressed he does so good against guys in a weight where his frame it not best fit he could easily me a legit welterweight and I saw at 170 he would have been a monster he's such a good MMA fighter he would have been about 6'3'' 230 lbs he would have would have whooped Israel adesanya he gave Israel such a close match and Israel got whooped by blachowich a great light heavyweight that shows me if Kevin would have been bigger he would defeated adesanya too but just by watching This guy I see that the other Kevin is fighting in this match can give adesanya alot of problems
Fighting much bigger guys too
Yes he's so good he almost beat Izzy.
I know kelvin is on a losing streak but man has been having nothing but close fights with all his opponents hope he turns his career around Edit: its been a year and I realized how biased I was for kelvin when writing this comment
He got stopped in one round by hermanson. Shut out by Whittaker and till.
He lost every round his last 2 fights
Next loss he will be cut
@@KD-kl4sx yeah
@@DesmondTV-pn1lg bro watch this fight would ya
Gastelum is such a good fighter, shame he can't make 170, he's undersized for 185 imo.
He used to make 170, but since moving up he's had so much more success
@@MorizoFire well, he used to try to make 170 😁 and he's lost 7 out of his last 10 fights, wouldn't call that success. I really think he should take some time off and properly adjust his body to make 170 comfortably, he'd be a killer at 170. Cannonier used to be a heavyweight.
@Billy Cain that's why he needs to make changes and commit to a new nutrition & lifestyle plan. He is clearly undersized for 185, struggles with his opponents reach advantage over and over.. I really like Gastelum, I'd love to see him become a champ at some point, I don't think he'll make it at 185 though.
He’s not People need to let that go He missed weight at 170 by like 7 pounds He is a true 185 pound fighter What he lacks is fight iq not his physics
@@prime7042 He even misses weight at 185 😁 that taco life!
Kelvins chin is amazing
to be able to take a former heavyweights shot is astounding
@@olivercovington3767 literally bro👌🏾
So is ur moms
Cannonier looks like hes carved out of dense stone
He use to be a Heavyweight. He carries that muscle down to Middleweight well without comprising his power
next to romero he looks like he's made of foam
@@ellopuddin679 his physique is better than Romeros
@@ellopuddin679 Cannonier has a better physique than Romero bro. Romero is impressive because of his age
@@joe44523579875 not even close
Really hated to see Kelvin lose again. Dude is a warrior. I really feel like he should do what it takes to move back down to 170.
Maybe the rest of the field should stop weight cutting 20 pounds. Some dudes weigh 185 pounds for about 20min. On fighting day they weigh 200 pounds.
@@rombaft Sad but true..some are just better at cutting weight than others.Only way around it is to have weight limits between fights.
@@bigsmall2842 he can for sure reduce his walking around weight tho. He just has to slim down with how much he trains every day losing weight should really not be that much of an issue.
He could be fighting at 155 if he actually had discipline
@@bigsmall2842 yeah but height and reach has definitely been a factor. When skill is equal then his height and reach disadvantage are a huge problem.
Gastellum is great, but I think Cannonier is just too tough, big and strong. He seems very strong in the clinch, and hits with so much power.
He use ti be heavy weight and i think hes full of steds cannoniernl and he was a kick boxer why hes good in the clinch 👍🏼
Yeah his takedown defense is incredible considering Gastelum is probably the best wrestler in the division.
@@callumcoyne5850 he was never a kickboxer but he is strong
@@H.K.5 Derek is
@@H.K.5 he is not the best wrestler in the division lol Weidman and Whittaker ragdolled him
Everyone talking about Kelvin this, Kelvin that. Cannonier looked SHARP. Very calculated with very good movement for a guy who has immense power. Love his evolution.
@@weaponxXxbrasil ok
Its polly because he's one of the only one's who gave Adersanya a run for his money. They went at it back and forth. Thou Gastluem is on a decline. But I still think Cannoier can't take down Adersanya or give that good of a show like Kelvin.
Big facts
He’s black bro what u expected
@@xavierbrown7503 dumb comment
Cannonier is so smooth and powerful in his movements, so beautiful to watch!
The UFC needs to hold on to fighters like Jared and Kelvin both of these guys are super durable and tough and make for great fights
Geez what a fight! Gastelum is a real warrior for getting up after several knockdowns like if it was nothing....and Cannonier is just extremely athletic and smart. Nice to see the mutual respect exhibited by both fighers too. Very nice fight.
2 beasts. Cannonier seems to get better all the time too. Could watch the guy fight all day
Gastelum is one of those guys that should be kept even when on losing streaks. Dude makes fights wars every time.
So true
Cannonier is like a LHW while Gastelum is more of a WW. Great fight.
Wrong his body wasnt Lhw material he was bloated for his build kelvin is lhw but cuts down he’s a dense Mexican
That's Cannonier was a light heavyweight or at least started in that weight for the UFC. Actually I think all his losses are from that weight class.
@@jerryvelasco1474 he even fought at Heavyweight
jared showing how good he is hope all these guys stay injury free in fights
Gastelum doesn't quit. It was a loss but an impressive fight on both sides.
Gastelum has always been in my top 3. He's actually one of the very few that if he has a fight I just can't miss it. I know he's going through a rough stretch now but he always bring it and I believe that if he just took the decision to go down to 170 he is champ material at that weight without any doubt.
What an incredible fight and just goes to show just how good the top ten middleweight fighters are in the UFC. They are all very technical and well rounded and durable. I can't see who is going to beat 'The Stylebender yet', but wish Rob all the best and can't wait for that one :)
If Alex can knock out Israel with those big old pillow gloves then all it takes is one good crack from Canonnier and it's lights out for ol glass jaw izzy
@@brianpierson1322 hes been KO’d once in 150 fights u got no idea what ur talking about loool
@@_QueenAstrid clearly I do because I stated facts dumbass
Kelvin fight the top of the top on short notice every time mad respect
Jared is a true dark horse of the division!
Doesn't beat Rob or Izzy.
@@rickyrodriguez507 or till
🌚
@@jamesroberts6370 😂 everyone can beat till sit down.
@@rickyrodriguez507 he stunned rob with one arm he got unlucky in that fight I think he's the biggest test for izzy very good all rounder I think he beats Vettori,costa,till and puts a test for rob
Gastelum is very good at getting in the pocket but doesn't quite know how to get out after landing shots. Both tough dudes.
this is why the middleweights are my favorite division, gastelum, cannonier, izzy, rob and the rest of the middleweight division are all monsters even in losses
Round 1 Jared 10-9 Round 2 Kelvin 10-9 Round 3 Jared 10-9 knockdown won round Round 4 Jared 10-9 Round 5 Kelvin 10-9 48-47 Jared He looked great
I scored round 5 differently, but it was close so I could've seen it going either way. I don't know what Kelvin's corner were doing though... I think he needs a changeup, they gave him some unnecessary confidence and it made him coast in a fight he was, in my opinion, clearly losing.
when someone gets dropped gets one point deduction but that doesnt mean he lost the round, i mean after the knockdown cannonier didnt do enough to win the round so it could have been 9-9 imo
@@chubaca4830 There are no point deductions for knockdowns in the UFC. Never has been, never will be. DC was talking about BOXING, not MMA.
@@chubaca4830 that makes no sense
@@chubaca4830 lol makes zero sense and thats not how fights are scored
Excellent stuff from Cannonier!
These two hit HARD. Scary to see. Cannonier's kicks are so snappy and fast. Gastelum can't be cut. All his losses are close ones and he looks damn good even if he's on the bad side of the decision. Not even controversial, he loses, but damn he's fun to watch.
These highlights are great. Great editing team at this channel!
I love Kelvin style, it's really very difficult cut distance against taller men. Very great fighter and a true warrior. I love him.
One thing that all MMA fans love about Kevin Gastellum is he gives everything that he has into the fight. Really enjoyed watching his fight.
Why did we have to wait so long for this one
Gastellum's final reaction is hilarious 😂😂😂
Gastelum is insanely talented man
Congratulations to Cannoniar on this win the better man definitely won 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Well blow me down with a feather. Not only were the commentators obsessed with Gastellun but so too are the comments, anyone would think he’d won this fight, let’s give some respect to the winner, Cannonier, he was a technical beast, he neutralised every takedown attempt and outboxed him to boot…
At this age cannonier is just too good !
Never runs out of GAS-telum.
Great highlight Was für ein Kampf 👌🏾
Gastelum needs to hire a nutritionist and head to welterweight really think he could have a good run. After the guys he's been in there with he won't be scared to face anyone at 170. Middleweight are just too big for him.
Kelvin basically needs to do exactly what cannonier did
He already fought at ww and got smoked by Woodley
@@prime7042 SD is not "smoked"
@@prime7042 I wouldn't say smoked but he's improved massively since then. This guy been fighting killers and holding his own. There's weight classes for a reason them middleweights are some big boys. I can see him giving any welterweight a problem.
Usman vs Gastelum would be such a good fight at 170, if he does go down.
Cannonier is a warrior too, all his fights are wars just like Gastelums fights. Great match up!
“Round 2 was the closes of rounds, is that what I saw” DC- Didn’t see it lol
Singing lead vocals for Queen and fighting for the UFC! Adam Lambert sure is a busy human!
Incredible display of a mutually respectable commitment to the fight! I can’t help but wonder when we’re gonna see Cannonier VS Adesanya????
Hopefully after Izzy KOs Whittaker again
Comment aged very well
love asian fighting arts / MMA... from north south wales.
Gastelum needs to cut down to WW, he already fought basically everyone at MW and he's at a size's disadvantage in basically every fight, this losing streak doesn't reflect how good he is, he's the one that gave the most trouble to the champion while being way shorter in reach and height
Man who made izzy look human . Kelvin the powerhouse gastelum
Gastelum é um guerreiro !!! Traz muito orgulho aos fãs das artes marciais e ao mundo da luta .
That was an amazing fight on both sides
kelvin is soo good man...hope 2022 have better things stored for him
Gastelum is like Diaz. Very hard to finish. Obviously ppls favourite ❤️
Bt sports are real ones for uploading full fights like this
Kelvin Gastelum is just amazing in every fight he has !
KG always shows up in every fight, win or lose. I enjoy watching him.
That Mexican had heart.
Gastelum is a gladiator, lose of win always puts on a show.. respect for both
bloody banging fight from 2 top tier fighters
Such a fun fighter to watch Kelvin
Cannonier looks HUGE for a middleweight!
he used to be a heavyweight
@@intenhaagwetrust I know, he just looks way bigger than 185 here
The TD defense on this one 1:53 😯
Gastelum is incredible. I just think his build makes it hard for him to find a good weight class. I hope he can try to make 170. Hed be dominant
Gastelum can definitely defeat Usman & Colby
Losing nine of your last fifteen fights = incredible
It's crazy how fast he get up after KO punchs.
Not enough credit was given to the power of Cann, the announcers were on gas's nuts way to much.
Why does no one ever talk about the American fighting spirit? Look at history, we have the greatest fighters on the planet! Not only our military, but our fighters in the ring and octagon!
Ig Jared is next up for the title after rob rematch and loses again
Win, lose or draw that's why I'm a Gastelum fan. He backed off and let Cannonier compose himself after he was poked in the eye. Class act.
Cannonier one of them ones fr .
Gladiators ✊🏽🤛🏽
3:45 6:35 Gets knocked down - Kelvin: "fridge mode activate"
Gastelum really a good figther. He had made worst face for Adesaya
Kelvin is such a warrior, never disapoints in his fights💪
Crazy how Whittaker took care of both of these dudes pretty easily, I would love to see Cannonier get the title shot at some point.
Referees won Bob the two fights
@Samo Damir the man where? Izzy damn near killed him.
@@anthonyclifton1205 He got defeated by Izzy, took a layoff and then fought 3 times in less than 365 days against the best strikers in the division not named Israel Adesanya. Beat them all convincingly as well.
A surprising win by Cannonier in very even contest - which swung back and forth - as Gastelum tried unsuccessfully to takedown Cannonier.
A great fight from 2 great fighters.
i just love this guy called Kelvin Gastelum. he's a warrior
Kelvin needs to take hia dieting to the next level and be a true professional. If he can do that he would be so much better. Hes so undersized for 185, loves his toco's to much tho
he would have to lose muscle to get there.
@@bdmenne no chance he wouldn't even be the biggest 170, just needs to cut down the fat
I like how gas is shortier most of the time but he drive forward well and lands them shot. He got ball. Hats off
What a fight.
I love Gerrard cannoire what a great guy
AWESOME GAME PLAYING
Even fight both fought good, the shorter guys was impressive👌 Gracia Castellum
Both men are warriors!!
What a treat of a fight!
8:16 ..'what t F was that leg swing for 😂😂🤩👌😫
1:25 “Come on Baby” Just like the games? 😂
How can gastelum lose and still be the goat of the middleweight division🐐👑
Excellent Editing
Great sportsmanship imo on gastellum towards the end.
Gustelum is real warrior he always give all in the cage. Kudos
Kelvin is a beast, this fight was closer than the judges thought. The knockdowns were all they saw I think. I don't think Cannoniere will beat Izzy, in fact I think it is going to be a relatively easy fight for him, just because of the styles.
Finally someone that knows about MMA.
Gastelum would've been a monster if he had some more height unfortunately he's short...but he's a brave man I respect nd love him
5:23 felders reaction 🤣
Good stuff
AWESOME CONTENTS
Jared looked sharp in this fight
@6:10 Always use your opponent's head to control them. Where the head goes, the body follows. Controlling the head is key.
Wow, great fight. Gastelum might have lost but he is crazy tuff, talented and surprisingly athletic
I really hope Gastelum can get in the win columns again
