Dustin Poirier had to wait a long time for a title shot, but he made good on the opportunity with a unanimous decision win over Max Holloway to close out UFC 236 in Atlanta on Saturday.
Poirier claimed the win in a bloody, intense five-round battle that offered fans the second memorable fight in a row on the night. The scoring will likely be debated, but what will not be questioned is the awesomeness of the fight itself.
The win marks the first time that Poirier has fought for a title despite putting in 22 fights with the organization.
