At UFC 236, not one but two interim titles will be on the line.
In the main event, reigning featherweight champion Max Holloway will move up in weight to take on Dustin Poirier for the interim lightweight title, and in the co-main event, Kelvin Gastelum will battle with Israel Adesanya for the interim middleweight championship.
Why are two interim belts on the line? Because divisional champions Khabib Nurmagomedov and Robert Whittaker are out of competition for the foreseeable future.
UFC lightweight king Khabib is out nine months with a suspension, and middleweight champ Whittaker is recovering from a collapsed hernia.
