Last week the UFC announced that two interim title fights were making their way to Atlanta on April 13th. UFC 236 features featherweight champion Max Holloway moving up to challenge Dustin Poirier for the interim lightweight championship. In the co-main event, Kelvin Gastelum and Israel Adasanya will duke it out for the middleweight strap.
Hollow will be making his promotional debut at 155lbs against the man he made his UFC debut against over seven years ago. Poirier won that fight, but this rematch will show just how much each of them have grown and improved since 2012.
During the UFC 236 press conference Holloway discussed wanting to fight current lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, but he was quick to shift the topic to Poirier.
