Featherweight champion Max Holloway most recently defended his belt at UFC 231 against Brian Ortega in December. Next, he moves up a weigh class to take on Dustin Poirier for the interim lightweight belt at UFC 236 on Saturday, April 13, live on Pay-Per-View.
What he thought “more” meant was a title defense in the summer, but when the UFC approached with a shot at the interim lightweight belt against Dustin Poirier, he couldn’t say no.
