THE FIGHT

UFC 236 · STATE FARM ARENA, ATLANTA · APRIL 13, 2019

Interim middleweight title. Twenty-five minutes with Israel Adesanya — five rounds so relentless the UFC built them a permanent home in the Hall of Fame. Nobody who watched remembers who got the belt. They remember the war.

FOTNFIGHT OF THE NIGHT

2019FIGHT OF THE YEAR

April 13, 2013 — the night he became the youngest Ultimate Fighter champion in history. April 13, 2019 — the night that put him in the Hall of Fame. Six years. To the day.

THE STORY

THE MISSION WAS GOLD

The mission never changed.

A young Kelvin Gastelum draped in the Mexican flag after a win — MEXICO CITY — THE FLAG NEVER LEFT HIS SHOULDERS

01

2013 · THE KID FROM YUMA

Twenty-one years old, the youngest man in the house, Kelvin Gastelum walked out of The Ultimate Fighter 17 as the youngest winner the show has ever crowned. A kid from the Yuma desert with heavy hands and no reverse gear.

Kelvin Gastelum bloodied and pressing forward in blue trunks — THE PRESSURE NEVER DROPS

02

THE RESUME

Johny Hendricks. Tim Kennedy. Michael Bisping — knocked out in round one. Jacaré Souza. Kelvin's ledger reads like a wing of the Hall on its own: former world champions, title challengers, legends — all caught by the same pair of hands.

03 · 2019 · THE WAR

“Belts change hands. Wars live forever.”

Israel Adesanya raises Kelvin Gastelum's hand at the 2025 UFC Hall of Fame induction ceremony, both in gold-lined jackets — T-MOBILE ARENA, LAS VEGAS — HAND RAISED, AGAIN

04

2025 · THE HALL

June 26, 2025 — the UFC enshrines the war, and Israel Adesanya himself raises Kelvin's hand on the Las Vegas stage. Most fighters wait for that call after they hang up the gloves. Kelvin took it mid-career. Gloves still on. Mission unchanged.
