UFC 236 Preview

Saturday’s main event between Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier is a rematch in the sense that two individuals with the names Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier have squared off before. But that fight, which saw Poirier win via first-round submission, was a little more than seven years ago–and both fighters are completely different today.

Holloway was a 20-year-old making his UFC debut in that one, and he ultimately started his career 3-3. Since, he’s won 13 in a row, captured the featherweight title and is now in position to become the fourth person in UFC history to hold belts in two different weight classes at the same time.

He explained how the current Holloway compares to the one who lost to Poirier in 2012.

“The best way to describe it is, like, me right now, I would kill that guy,” said the 27-year-old. “I would literally put him in a cemetery. There is a cemetery down the road from my house. I’d probably go visit him every day.”

Holloway has climbed to fourth in UFC’s pound-for-pound rankings, behind only Daniel Cormier, Jon Jones and Khabib Nurmagomedov.

“I believe around the time [Poirier] fought Cub Swanson [in April 2015], I said he was the second-best 145-pounder — after Conor [McGregor],” said MMA coach John Kavanagh. “Since then, he’s just improved every fight and naturally grown into a 155-pounder. Dustin has also improved a lot since losing to Conor. Plus, he’s beaten some genuinely tough 155-pounders.”

Poirier, meanwhile, followed up that victory with three losses in his next seven fights, but he has since gone 8-1 to set up his first title shot. In his last three fights, he has stopped three really good opponents–Anthony Pettis, Justin Gaethje and Eddie Alvarez–with early finishes.

“Dustin Poirier is one of the most underrated fighters in the sport,” Sayif Saud of Fortis MMA said. “He has a wealth of experience, long amateur career. He’s hitting his streak.”

Ultimately, it’s tough to find a better fight. Both fighters are on fire, they’re both more than willing to stay standing and turn this thing into a back-and-forth slugfest, it’s a fairly even matchup and then there’s the rematch factor and title implications. No matter what happens, it’s going to be wildly exciting.

And, oh yeah, there’s also another title fight on tap, as fast rising star Israel Adesanya will take on the younger-but-more-experienced Kelvin Gastelum for the interim middleweight title. It’s a fight that could very easily headline most other PPV cards.

There are also three other fights rounding out an excellent main card: Eryk Anders vs Khalil Rountree Jr (light heavyweight), Alan Jouban vs Dwight Grant (welterweight) and Ovince Saint Preux vs Nikita Krylov (light heavyweight).
