Robert Whittaker was pulled out of the fight because of a hernia in his abdomen. Kelvin might not have another opportunity to challenge Robert Whittaker after this, I reckon. Dana has said that the winner of Anderson versus Israel Adesanya will be for the no.1 rank in middleweight.

The winner will also clearly be Robert's new challenger.

Ok, it looks like the injury is very serious;

Quote
“He’s in the recovery room with his wife and his family,” White said. “This is one of those freak accidents where the doctor said he’d literally never seen this type of injury in a young person. This usually only happens to old people. His bowel and his intestines poked through the hole and it didn’t happen yesterday after the [weigh-ins]. They think he had this problem and it’s been going in and out.

https://www.mmafighting.com/2019/2/9/18218787/dana-white-if-robert-whittaker-hernia-acted-up-during-ufc-234-fight-it-could-have-been-fatal

So Adesanya vs. Silva will moved as main event. We don't know how long will Robert recovery from this injury though, so this division has open lots of possibilities. I saw some interview the Gastelum has the belt already. So its going to be Gastelum vs the winner of Adesanya vs. Silva.

It was a really unfortunate situation at the very last moment and Kevin Gastelum should get the rematch as soon as he is fit and ready and then eventually they will meet again, with Israel Adesanya winning the fight over the legendary Silva and Adesanya wont be facing anyone until Kevin Gastelum and Robert Whittaker face each other most probably in UFC 236 because the 235 card is staked with super fights and there is no space to fill this fight.

^  Sucks for Gastelum.  I think Dana White should do the right thing and let Gastelum fight either for the title vs Whittaker asap or let Gastelum fight Adesanya for the interim title asap.  It should be good for everybody involved either way imo.

Chill dude, let's just wait for match to happen. I'ts pretty obvious that Gastelum is the underrated here but I still do believe in his talent. Remember that he will not come up to this point if he is not deserving Smiley.

Anyway, I'm really disappointed on the postponed fight of Whittaker and Gastelum, but well, the health of Whittaker is at risk so it was understandable. I hope he get well soon for their match to be rescheduled as soon as possible.

With the kind of surgery he had, i am not sure he will be back anytime soon, he might need atleast four to six months to fully recover, he was not competing for almost one year after the brutal fight with Romero and Romero did not fight either, that fight took a lot out of both the fighters and now the unexpected surgery, i think there will be an interim title on the line if Israel Adesanya can fight in the next few months against Kevin Gastelum and the winner gets the champion.

Gosh! What an unlucky Whitttaker but at least he showed to us the he still want to fight despite of the hernia injury. However, that was not an advisable decision at all that,ls why the fight postponed. Props for Whittaker for being courageous.

Okay, it that will be the case then that's great. I think there would be no problem at all since Adesanya's fight against Silva didn't give him a lot of damage. I guess Adesanya is now on his road to 17-0 Grin (just my prediction).

While watching Adesanya vs Silva fight, I can't stop myself from thinking that Adesanya's fighting skills is like Silva's when Silva is still in his prime. There was even a meme about Adesanya kicking Silva but missed and Silva kicking Adesanya and missed as well. Looking forward for another fight of Adesanya. This guy have a long way to go.

^  Yup.  I think Adesanya has the skills to hold the MW title for years imo.  And he's just what it needs.  A charismatic guy, a good talker and with the skills to back it up.

Israel did not look like anything special in this match - showing a lot of respect for Hall of Famer Anderson Silva.
If he is to fight Whittaker next, it will probably be a 25 minute punch and run match.
Hope this will happen this year if Whittaker can get healthy.

It appears that Dana might have a new opportunity to create an exciting storyboard in the middleweight division. Chris Weidman has been tweeting that he was not impressed in Israel Adesanya's performance. He also said that he is overrated.

In any case, some UFC sportswriters have already made comparisons on Adesanya as a young Anderson. I reckon if Dana can organize a Chris vs Adesanya fight,  he should promote it as the revenge of Anderson hehehehe.

Whoah! What an interesting headline :O. But on the negative side, is it unfair that we always compare Adesanya to Silva? I mean, if I'm on the position of Adesanaya and hear such words then I might get upset because I think that you only respect me because you see the young Silva in me and not my own self. You are just treating me like a copycat of a great fighter and never impressed with my own way of fighting (just my opinion Grin).

Hmm, instead of Revenge of Silva, for me it is better if they change it to Revenge for Silva.
