If you're not excited for Max Holloway vs Dustin Poirier 2, I feel bad for you.
Go ahead. Pull yourself up out of the muck that is the recent MMA news cycle and enjoy. Become excited to enjoy UFC 236, going down Saturday from State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. We beleaguered fans need this right about now.
The featherweight title will go to whoever emerges between two inordinately skilled, preternaturally tough competitors who are a combined 18-1 (1) in their last 20 contests. The first time they fought back in 2012, Poirier defeated a green, 21-year-old Holloway by submission.
