The Ultimate Fighting Championship crowned two interim champions at UFC 236 on Saturday in Atlanta, where Dustin Poirier and Israel Adesanya battled through adversity to snare unanimous decision victories and some new hardware.
“The Last Style Bender” and Kelvin Gastelum put on a “Fight of the Year”-worthy spectacle in the co-headliner, complete with spinning elbows, submission attempts and wild swings in momentum. Meanwhile, “The Diamond” put on a career-defining performance opposite Max Holloway in the main event, landing hard shots early and often on the 145-pound champ on his way to procuring 49-46 scorecards across the board.
