Max Holloway & Dustin Poirier Rematch for Lightweight Gold
Can Kelvin Gastelum Steal Israel Adesanya’s Spotlight?
… but that does not mean we can’t find out a thing or 2 about the night’s extra 11 struggles!
What follows is a brief breakdown on every matchup at UFC 236 in a bid to learn enough about every fighter to make a more educated bet on them if your heart needs.
UFC 236
Interim Lightweight Title Fight: Max Holloway (-205) vs. Dustin Poirier (+165)
Poirier was on a war path since returning to lightweight in April, 2015. In general, he has won eight of his last 10 battles and suffered only 1 loss (KO into Michael Johnson) along with one no contest in his first battle against Eddie Alvarez. Poirier ranks first among busy UFC lightweights in dramatic differential per minute at +2.69.
Both Poirier (7.11 strikes per second ) and Holloway (6.9) rank among the top-five highest-volume strikers from the entire UFC. Holloway’s quantity is similar to an avalanche that becomes more-and-more overwhelming as the battle continues.
Holloway’s last battle was arguably the finest championship performance in UFC history. Overall, his 290 significant strikes at a struggle broke the UFC championship album.
Holloway started the week as a -230 favored, but action has come in greatly on Poirier ever since.
Interim Middleweight Title Fight: Kelvin Gastelum (+150) vs. Israel Adesanya (-185)
Gastelum was able to record at least one knockdown against former champions Jacare Souza, Michael Bisping, Chris Weidman and Vitor Belfort during his hellacious run during the middleweight division. His constant barrages of one-two mixtures have been hard for practically all of his opponents do deal with throughout his career.
Israel’The Last Stylebender’ Adesanya is a former Glory Kickboxing champion that has rung up a 16-0 record to start his own mixed martial arts profession. He will not need anything related to Gastelum — a country championship wrestler in high school — on the ground, but we have yet to see someone come close to out-classing Adesanya around the toes during his five UFC wins.
Adesanya opened the week as a -175 favored, but has since transferred to -185 behind the public’s support.
Light Heavyweight Fight: Eryk Anders (-200) vs. Khalil Rountree (+160)
Anders played linebacker under Nick Saban in Alabama from 2006-2009 before beginning his mixed martial arts career. These three of Anders’ livelihood losses have come in his last four fights, but these were two split-decision losses along with a single TKO reduction via referee stoppage during his short-notice light heavyweight introduction against Thiago Santos, who will fight Jon Jones to the branch’s championship in July.
Rountree recorded the biggest success of his career at UFC 226 against long-time championship kickboxer Gokhan Saki, but has been pumped out by increasing contender Johnny Walker last November. Rountree’s career striking differential of -0.99 has made it hard for him to win conflicts by any way aside from a finish, and he’s accordingly lost both of his livelihood UFC fights who have made it beyond the first round.
Welterweight Fight: Alan Jouban (-120) vs. Dwight Grant (-110)
Jouban will be providing up a five-inch reach advantage to Grant. This is uncharted territory for Jouban during his 11-fight UFC career, but he’s 3-1 in fights with a reach advantage of at least three inches. Meanwhile, the Grant is 1-1 at the UFC with a success over Carlo Pedersoli Jr. (75-inch reach) plus a split-decision loss to Zak Ottow (72-inch achieve ).
The x-factor in this struggle could wind up being volume. Jouban finds himself among the top-10 welterweights in UFC history in knockdowns landed (No. 4), important strike precision (No. 7), strikes per second (No. 3) and striking differential (No. 4).
Light Heavyweight Fight: Ovince Saint Preux (-110) vs. Nikita Krylov (-120)
Krylov has quite literally never had a fight go to the judges in 30 career MMA fights. This includes 10 fights inside the Octagon, which were featured three wins by TKO/KO and three by submission compared to three losses by submission and one by TKO.
This is actually a rematch from UFC 171, when OSP defeated Krylov by first-round entry. The finish featured Saint Preux’s signature entry: The Von Flue choke.
UFC 236 Prelims
Lightweight Fight: Jalin Turner (-140) vs. Matt Frevola (+110)
Turner boasts enormous elevation (6-foot-3 vs. 5-foot-9) and attain (77 inches vs. 71) advantages over Frevola, but that advantage could be mitigated when the latter fighter is able to instigate his takedown-heavy attack. Turner was last observed starching Callan Potter in only 53 seconds back in UFC 234 in February.
Flyweight Fight: Wilson Reis (+130) vs. Alexandre Pantoja (-160)
Reis is presently the UFC’s No. 4 ranked flyweight ahead of his departure with fifth-ranked Alexandre Pantoja. Although Reis has dropped three of his past four fights, they have come from a high-level competitors such as John Moraga, current flyweight champion Henry Cejudo and former winner Demetrious Johnson. Both Reis (12:08) and Pantoja (11:58) have typical combat times that could indicate we will see this battle last to the third round.
Welterweight Fight: Max Griffin (-105) vs. Zelim Imadaev (-125)
Imadaev opened the week with -115 chances. Public support has come in on the undefeated Russian, who has won eight of the fights by TKO or KO. He’s making his debut within the octagon against Max Griffin, who has lost four of the last six fights dating back to August, 2016. There’s a little bad blood , as Griffin sparred with Imadaev once upon a time and had this to say about his opponent…
“He is an ass, guy. He is not a fantastic guy… I really don’t like the guy… I’m excited about showing him what it is like.”
Bantamweight Fight: Boston Salmon (-150) vs. Khalid Taha (+120)
Boston’Boom Boom’ Salmon has only lost once in seven seven career fights (by split-decision). Salmon won his final fight against Ricky Turcios on the debut episode of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series. He will maintain a four-inch height advantage of Taha, who has lost two of his last 3 fights. Backing Salmon in his early -135 odds was among my favorite bets on the card, but he still offers a little bit of worth at his current -150 chances.

UFC 236 Early Prelims
Welterweight Fight: Curtis Millender (+115) vs. Belal Muhammad (-145)
Millender fought only last month at UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. dos Santos, finally losing by entry (rear-naked choke) to Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos. Muhammad continues to be busy, as he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Geoff Neal back in January at UFC Fight Night: Cejudo vs. Dillashaw. Millender boasts four and three inch height and reach advantages, respectively, although Muhammad continues to be a lot more of a takedown hazard during his UFC career.
Bantamweight Fight: Montel Jackson (-550) vs. Andre Soukhamthath (+375)
Jackson opened the week as a -500 favorite, but has since moved even higher. He is the biggest favorite on the card. Soukhamthath is 13-6 as a professional and is being fed to Jackson, who has dropped just once in eight career bouts.
Girls Strawweight Fight: Lauren Mueller (+145) vs. Poliana Botelho (-175)
Both these women have high striking rates and don’t waste their time getting started. This is particularly true for Botelho, who notched the third-fastest finish in the history of this UFC women’s division back in May, 2018.
Bantamweight Fight: Brandon Davis (-170) vs. Randy Costa (+140)
Costa is undefeated in four professional fights, while Davis is only 9-5. Both fighters are making a debut of sorts, as Costa will probably be within the octagon for the very first time in his career, while Davis has apparently never fought 135 lbs.
