UFC 236 PREVIEW & PREDICTIONS 4/13: Grocke’s updated odds & predictions for every fight

UFC 236 Occurs at the State Farm Arena at Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday night.

The main event features current featherweight champion Max Holloway carrying on Dustin Poirier for the UFC interim lightweight championship. The winner of the fight will in all probability move on to confront Khabib Nurmagomedov, current champion.
The final time Max Holloway failed to get his hand increased was back in April 2013 in UFC Fight Night 26 where he dropped a unanimous decision to Conor McGregor. Since then Holloway has won consecutive fights. His latest success was a fourth-round stoppage against Brian Ortega in UFC 231. Before the Ortega fight, Holloway completed all-time featherweight great Jose Aldo in back-to-back bouts. First at UFC 212 and again at UFC 218. Both ends came in the next round. At twenty-seven decades of age, Holloway makes the walk to the moment. The born fighter has twelve wins through stoppage to go along with eight.
Dustin Poirier is 4-0 over his last five fights with a no-contest due to an accidental knee to the head of a grounded fighter against Eddie Alvarez in UFC 211. But, Poirier won the rematch from Alvarez in his most recent fight at UFC on FOX 30. His three victories include Alvarez, Justin Gaethje and Anthony Pettis. All three ended within the distance. Like Holloway, Poirier has also suffered a loss at the hands of Conor McGregor. Poirier’s loss was a knockout back in September of 2014 in UFC 178. Since that time”The Diamond” is 8-1-1. The thirty-year-old will produce the walk to the thirtieth time on Saturday night. Nineteen of his career wins finished within the space.
The co-main takes place in the middleweight division where Kelvin Gastelum squares off from Israel Adesanya for its UFC interim championship championship. The winner will face Robert Whittaker after the UFC middleweight champion is ready to come back from injury. Gastelum was set to face Whittaker for the title at UFC 234 but the champion was made to pull out only hours before the fight because of an abdominal hernia that required emergency operation.
Since obtaining subbed from Chris Weidman at UFC on FOX 25 Gastelum has won his last two fights. He beat Michael Bisping via knockout at UFC Fight Night 122 and then won a split decision against Ronaldo Souza at UFC 224. The twenty-seven-year-old boasts ten endings in career victories that are fifteen.
