By the Numbers: UFC 236

The ordering process for Ultimate Fighting Championship pay-per-views has changed: UFC 236 is only available on ESPN+ in the U.S.

At long last, Dustin Poirier can call himself a UFC champion.

“The Diamond” got through one of the sport’s pound-for-pound best in the UFC 236 headliner, as he outpointed reigning featherweight king Max Holloway in a bloody five-round battle to capture the interim lightweight championship. Poirier ended Holloway’s 13-bout UFC winning streak, but the journey doesn’t get any easier from here: A date with undisputed 155-pound king Khabib Nurmagomedov awaits.
