Following Kelvin Gastelum’s thrilling war with Israel Adesanya at UFC 236, the middleweight has congratulated the new interim champ on his victory.

Gastelum faced Adesanya in the co-main event of Saturday’s card, and ended up losing the vicious fight via decision. Since then, the former TUF winner posted the statement below on Instagram:

I left it all out there. @stylebender was the better man last night ! Congratulations to him. I know our paths will cross again! This set back as well as all my other setbacks have made me a better person and mixed martial artist. One thing about me , is I always come back stronger after each loss!! I can’t wait for the future! I’m 27 and We’re only getting started! To God be all the glory for all his blessings because he is good ALL the time! The mission 4 Gold continues! See you around folks! #OnAmission4Gold
