LAS VEGAS – UFC 236’s interim title competitors faced off for the first time today following a press conference to kick off promotion for the event.
UFC featherweight champ Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier, who meet in a main-event rematch for the interim lightweight title on the April fight card, and Kelvin Gastelum and Israel Adesanya, who fight for the interim middleweight belt, got toe-to-toe after taking questions from the media.
UFC 236 takes place April 13 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and UFC Fight Pass.
The Holloway (20-4 MMA, 16-4 UFC) vs. Poirier (24-5 MMA, 16-4 UFC) and Gastelum (16-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) vs. Adesanya (15-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) staredowns were respectful, but the intensity between the four high-level fighters was hard to ignore.
