ATLANTA -- Both UFC 236 title fights are now official, as Max Holloway, Dustin Poirier, Kelvin Gastelum and Israel Adesanya all made weight on Friday.
Holloway and Poirier could not be more than 155 pounds one day prior to their UFC interim lightweight title bout. Holloway weighed in at 155 pounds, while Poirier was 154.5.
Gastelum and Adesanya, who are set to compete for the UFC interim middleweight belt, weighed in at 184 and 183 pounds, respectively. They could not exceed 185 pounds.
Holloway, the current UFC featherweight champion, fought Poirier in 2012, with Poirier winning via a first-round armbar. Holloway went on to win 16 of his next 18 fights. Poirier, a longtime title contender, has not lost in his last five bouts.
Gastelum was set to face Robert Whittaker in February for the UFC middleweight title but Whittaker got sick on fight day and withdrew. Now Gastelum takes on Adesanya, a rising star who is undefeated through 16 matchups.
