There will be two new champions crowned at UFC 236 and even though they’re of the interim variety, there’s hope that Saturday’s victors will bring some stability to their respective divisions.
For Max Holloway, he enters his main event rematch with Dustin Poirier already knowing what it takes to be a UFC champion, having won and successfully defended the featherweight crown. What isn’t known is whether he’ll be able to avenge a seven-year-old loss to “The Diamond”, the only man to ever finish Holloway. Poirier has long been a contender at 145 and 155 pounds, but it has taken him 22 Octagon appearances to finally get a shot at gold.
