UFC 236 on Saturday at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta is headlined by not one, but two, interim title clashes.
In the main event, Max Holloway moves to 155-pounds to take on Dustin Poirier for the lightweight title. And Kelvin Gastelum and Israel Adesanya meet in the co-main event for the interim middleweight belt.
In the UFC's history, there have been 19 interim title fights. That number goes up by two after the weekend but also makes the realization that the UFC is using the interim tag more and more in their current era. With all those prior fights, it makes one wonder what were the best, and worst, interim title fights.
