Everyone has a fighting chance
While reigning lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov finishes his suspension, Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier will vie for the interim 155-pound belt at UFC 236. That wasn’t the promotion’s first choice, however.
It had been a long four years for Anthony Dirrell, but after everything he’s endured outside of the ring, the Flint, Michigan, native can finally call himself world champion again. The prelims start at 11 a.m. ET (8 a.m. PT) while the six-fight main card kicks off at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. PT). The entire card will be shown on ESPN+, and for Canadians the entire card will be exclusively on UFC Fight Pass. Tempers flared multiple times leading up to their fight, but Chris Eubank Jr. was the one who had the final say against James DeGale on Saturday. Thiago Santos has been on the UFC’s roster for nearly six years, and now he feels it’s time for a title shot. Aside from a split decision loss three years ago, Russia’s Petr Yan has been nearly flawless in his pro MMA career. It was no different on Saturday. Thiago Santos, Stefan Struve, Dwight Grant and Michal Oleksiejczuk all received $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonuses for their work at UFC Fight Night 145 in Prague, Czech Republic, on Saturday. Thiago Santos stops Jan Blachowicz in the third round of the UFC Fight Night 145 main event on Saturday in Prague. Stefan Struve was back in action in the co-main event of UFC Prague on Saturday. “The Skyscraper,” who made it known he was on his last fight of his contract, ended up getting a much-needed win that could mark his final Octagon appearance.Anthony Dirrell Recaptures WBC Super Middleweight Title Via Technical Split
