He and Max Holloway put on a show to close the night in Atlanta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heading into UFC 236 much of the conversation was regarding Holloway and his efforts to become the next &#8220;champ-champ&#8221;. However, Poirier&#8217;s demeanor all week was of bulletproof confidence. He showed why on Saturday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It looks at through the lightweight title will be unified in September, as UFC President Dana White said during the post-fight presser that <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/dana-white-confirms-dustin-poirier-will-fight-khabib-nurmagomedov-next\/\">Poirier will meet Khabib Nurmagomedov later this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"696\" height=\"399\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Khalil-Rountree.jpeg\" alt=\"Khalil Rountree\" class=\"wp-image-309503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Khalil-Rountree.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Khalil-Rountree-300x172.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Khalil Rountree<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What a performance by &#8220;The War Horse&#8221; Khalil Rountree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since his time on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season 23, Rountree has hit some bumps in the road. However, in his last five fights, he has really reached a new gear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rountree has won four of his last five; his only blemish in that stretch is to the Brazilian sensation Johnny Walker last November. His decimation over Anders should earn Rountree a top 15 opponent in his next outing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/D4Evf1oUwAAQEQX.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-309806\" width=\"696\" height=\"399\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Khalid Taha<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Boston Salmon wasn&#8217;t the only bantamweight looking to get his hand raised in the Octagon for the first time on Saturday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Warrior&#8221; Khalid Taha needed only 25 seconds to ruin the UFC debut of one of the more hyped up fighters on Saturday night&#8217;s card. Taha, 26, has cut his teeth all over the world. Having competed in RIZIN and Brave CF, the bright light of the UFC have not phased &#8220;The Warrior&#8221; in his second fight for the promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for Taha to get a quick turnaround. He worked less than one minute at UFC 236 and the 135-pound division is full of exciting match ups. The upcoming UFC 236 card in Chicago could be a landing spot for Taha as that card seems to be a showcase for the bantamweights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"696\" height=\"399\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Israel-Adesanya-6.png\" alt=\"Israel Adesanya\" class=\"wp-image-309767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Israel-Adesanya-6.png 696w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Israel-Adesanya-6-300x172.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption>Image: @ufc on Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Israel Adesanya<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Israel Adesanya and Kelvin Gastelum left it all in the Octagon on their way to a 25-minute instant class interim title fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both men took home an extra $50,000 for their effort but more importantly, both men left a piece of themselves in the Octagon for our entertainment, and both will be remembered for it forever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Per White, Adesanya will cash his interim title in for a chance at the real thing later this year when he faces the middleweight champion, Robert Whittaker at a stadium in Australia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article first appeared on <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><em>BJPENN.COM<\/em><\/a><em> on 4\/15\/2019.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC 236, emanating from State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, was an extremely exciting night of fights.
