The UFC travels down south on Saturday for a fight card that will get started at 6:15 p.m. ET. All the action will take place from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
The early prelims are available exclusively on UFC Fight Pass, but the four-fight prelim card that starts at 8 p.m. ET will air on ESPN. The event's five-fight main card is available on ESPN+.
UFC 236 is headlined by a bought for the interim lightweight championship and a chance to fight the division's undefeated and undisputed champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. Third-ranked lightweight contender Dustin Poirier will receive his first ever chance for championship gold against UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway.
Poirier won his first matchup against 'Blessed' back in Feb. 2012, but Holloway is currently on a ridiculous 13-fight win streak that has seen him run through nearly the entire 145-pound division. He'll thus make his UFC debut at 155 pounds against Poirier, who has been on quite the hot streak himself:
Dustin Poirier managed to TKO Eddie Alvarez in the second round during their rematch back in July, 2018.

The co-main event will also feature a battle for the interim title. Fourth-ranked middleweight contender Kelvin Gastelum will square off against fifth-ranked Israel 'The Last Stylebender' Adesanya. The winner will earn a date with undisputed 185-pound champion Robert Whittaker once Whittaker recovers from a hernia surgery that forced him out of his expected UFC 234 fight against Gastelum.
