Max Holloway vs. Dustin Poirier at UFC 236 REACTION


According to a report from ESPN, Max Holloway will face Dustin Poirier at UFC 236 for the interim lightweight championship. This announcement has an enormous amount of implications. Is Holloway, the featherweight champion, going to stay at lightweight if he wins? What does this rematch say about both competitors now? What is going to happen to Tony Ferguson, who apparently declined the opportunity to fight Holloway? What should? What does this mean for the future of UFC interim titles? This is an exciting fight, but feels like a strange way for the UFC to conduct business.

  1. I agree with you .fight doesn't make sense for Tony. Does it mean he has to won five interin titles. Before he gets the real title. He needs to fight khabib. That's the right fight to make. Belt or no belt. Tony is getting screwed. Love the fight Max and Dustin.

  2. Need to leverage ESPN on how this looks to the viewers! ESPN has the power and influence now to hold the ufc accountable. You as the press can reach the masses! Take action and pressure the network to make the sport legit for the fighters!

  3. So if KN sits out the rest of the year, that would be nearly 15 months since the CMG fight. Strip him now, and make Tony VS Poirier for the belt. Enough of this interim, double champ bullshit.

  4. Winner of porier/halloway will fight the winner of khabib/tony fight

  5. Sorry about cutting the top of my head in the frame. I'm, as you know, technologically challenged.
