Jon Anik: “Nice elbow by Gastelum”

The low output from both of these guys in the past was sort of what I was afraid of for tonight’s fight.# UFC 244

Yo. Kelvin Gastelum’s finger literally stabbed Darren Till’s eye. Nasty.# UFC 244

Till is so quick with the elbows off the clinch, and the low kicks are adding up. 20 – 18 Till.

Kelvin needs a finish I think

The size advantage of Till is obvious. Will be interesting to see him compete at this weight moving forward.# ufc 244

Damn, tense fight. Kelvin Gastelum was looking to end it through the final bell. Not a barnburner, but these guys opened up, while still showing respect for each others power. I enjoyed it. I think it’s Darren Till’s win.
