It’s all systems go for the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s return to Atlanta for the first time since 2016, with two interim title fights official in the lightweight and middleweight divisions.
Max Holloway hit the scales at 155 pounds, as he contends for the interim lightweight belt against the only man to finish him in Dustin Poirier (154.5), in the UFC 236 main event this Saturday at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Co-headlining the card will be an interim middleweight title scrap between “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 17 winner Kelvin Gastelum (184) and the undefeated Israel Adesanya (183), and all four made weight easily at Friday’s early weigh-ins.
