Video: ‘UFC 236 Countdown’ for Kelvin Gastelum vs. Israel Adesanya interim title bout

Did you miss the debut of “UFC 236 Countdown,” or just want to watch it again? Check out the co-main event preview now.

The special looks at the co-headlining interim middleweight title fight between Kelvin Gastelum (15-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) and Israel Adesanya (16-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC). Gastelum was supposed to fight Robert Whittaker for the undisputed strap in February, but when the champ pulled out of the fight due to a health issue, it left the promotion in need to make an interim belt, and undefeated Adesanya got the call.

UFC 236 takes place Saturday at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Gastelum vs. Adesanya co-headlines the main card, which airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and UFC Fight Pass.

“Countdown” goes behind the scenes with the two fighters, and you can watch the full segment above.
