Fight fans knew the top two bouts at UFC 236 could deliver tremendous fireworks.
They did that and then some.
Dustin Poirier is an animal. He had Max Holloway hurt and busted up more than any other opponent in Holloway’s amazing career. It looked like Max was in serious trouble. But it’s Max Holloway, and he will fight back. And these two engaged in a war of attrition that was captivating, thrilling, exhilarating, it was everything. Poirier’s damage and power advantage proved vital in him getting the 49-46 victory on all three scorecards. I had it 48-47 Poirier, I can see a case for giving it to Holloway, but I took the damage over Holloway’s volume.
