AUCKLAND, New Zealand – When Eugene Bareman opened City Kickboxing, he had an inkling he could mold the folks who walked into his gym to become world-class combat sports athletes.

One of those men is Israel Adesanya , who on Saturday faces Kelvin Gastelum for the interim middleweight title at UFC 236.
