Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is gearing up to stage UFC 236: “Holloway vs Poirier 2,” which goes down this Saturday night (April 13, 2019) inside State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
In the main event of the evening, Max Holloway will look to become the next UFC champ-champ as he moves up to the Lightweight division to battle Dustin Poirier for the interim title. With a victory, “Blessed” will lock down a title unification fight with division king Khabib Nurmagomedov later this year.
