Tony who? UFC featherweight champion, Max Holloway, has an opportunity to avenge his 2012 loss to Dustin Poirier when “Blessed” jumps up to the lightweight division to battle “The Diamond” for the division’s interim title, caused by the extended absence of suspended 155-pound kingpin, Khabib Nurmagomedov. In the UFC 236 co-headliner, another substitute strap will be up for grabs, thanks to an injury to Robert Whittaker, when Kelvin Gastelum tries to shut down middleweight striking sensation, Israel Adesanya.
