We already have you covered with in-depth betting analysis on the main and co-main event…
Max Holloway & Dustin Poirier Rematch for Lightweight Gold
Can Kelvin Gastelum Steal Israel Adesanya’s Spotlight?
… but that doesn’t mean we still can’t learn a thing or two on the night’s extra 11 fights!
What follows is a short breakdown on each matchup at UFC 236 in a bid to learn enough about each fighter to make a more educated bet on these if your heart desires.
UFC 236
Interim Lightweight Title Fight: Max Holloway (-205) vs. Dustin Poirier (+165)
Poirier has been on a war path since returning to lightweight in April, 2015. In general, he’s won eight of his last 10 battles and suffered just 1 loss (KO to Michael Johnson) and one no competition in his first fight against Eddie Alvarez. Poirier ranks first among busy UFC lightweights in dramatic differential per second at +2.69.
Both Poirier (7.11 strikes per minute) and Holloway (6.9) rank among the top-five highest-volume strikers from the total UFC. Holloway’s quantity is similar to an avalanche that becomes more-and-more overwhelming as the fight continues.
Holloway’s last fight was arguably the finest championship functionality in UFC history. In general, his 290 significant strikes at a fight broke the UFC tournament record.
Holloway opened the week as a -230 favored, but action has come in heavily on Poirier ever since.
Interim Middleweight Title Fight: Kelvin Gastelum (+150) vs. Israel Adesanya (-185)
Gastelum was able to record at least one knockdown against former champions Jacare Souza, Michael Bisping, Chris Weidman and Vitor Belfort throughout his hellacious run during the middleweight division. His constant barrages of one-two combinations have been hard for practically all his opponents do deal with during his career.
Israel’The previous Stylebender’ Adesanya is a former Glory Kickboxing winner who has rung up a 16-0 record to start his mixed martial arts profession. He won’t want anything related to Gastelum — a country championship wrestler in high school — on the ground, but we have yet to see some come close to out-classing Adesanya around the toes throughout his five UFC wins.
Adesanya opened the week as a -175 favored, but has since moved up to -185 behind the public’s support.
Light Heavyweight Fight: Eryk Anders (-200) vs. Khalil Rountree (+160)
Anders played linebacker under Nick Saban at Alabama from 2006-2009 before starting his mixed martial arts profession. All three of Anders’ livelihood losses have come in his last four fights, but those were two split-decision losses along with one TKO reduction via referee stoppage throughout his short-notice light heavyweight debut against Thiago Santos, who will fight Jon Jones to the division’s championship in July.
Rountree listed the biggest success of his career at UFC 226 against long-time championship kickboxer Gokhan Saki, but was subsequently knocked out by increasing contender Johnny Walker last November. Rountree’s career striking differential of -0.99 has made it tough for him to win fights by any way other than a conclusion, and he’s consequently lost both of his livelihood UFC fights that have made it past the first round.
Welterweight Fight: Alan Jouban (-120) vs. Dwight Grant (-110)
Jouban will be giving up a five-inch advantage advantage to Grant. This is uncharted territory for Jouban throughout his 11-fight UFC profession, but he is 3-1 in fights with a reach benefit of three or more inches. Meanwhile, Grant is 1-1 in the UFC with a victory over Carlo Pedersoli Jr. (75-inch reach) plus a split-decision loss to Zak Ottow (72-inch achieve ).
The x-factor in this fight might wind up being volume. Jouban finds himself one of the top-10 welterweights in UFC history in knockdowns landed (No. 4), significant strike accuracy (No. 7), strikes per second (No. 3) and striking differential (No. 4).
Light Heavyweight Fight: Ovince Saint Preux (-110) vs. Nikita Krylov (-120)
Krylov has literally had a struggle go to the judges in 30 livelihood MMA fights. Including 10 battles inside the Octagon, which have featured three wins by TKO/KO and three by entry in contrast to three losses by entry and one by TKO.
This is actually a rematch from UFC 171, when OSP defeated Krylov by first-round entry. The finish comprised Saint Preux’s signature submission: The Von Flue choke.
UFC 236 Prelims
Lightweight Fight: Jalin Turner (-140) vs. Matt Frevola (+110)
Turner boasts massive elevation (6-foot-3 vs. 5-foot-9) and attain (77 inches vs. 71) benefits over Frevola, but that advantage could be mitigated when the latter fighter is able to instigate his takedown-heavy assault. Turner was last seen starching Callan Potter in only 53 seconds back in UFC 234 in February.
Flyweight Fight: Wilson Reis (+130) vs. Alexandre Pantoja (-160)
Reis is currently the UFC’s No. 4 ranked flyweight ahead of his departure with fifth-ranked Alexandre Pantoja. Although Reis has dropped three of his last four fights, they’ve come against a high-level competitors like John Moraga, current flyweight champion Henry Cejudo and former champion Demetrious Johnson. Both Reis (12:08) and Pantoja (11:58) have average combat times that would indicate we’ll see this battle last into the next round.
Welterweight Fight: Max Griffin (-105) vs. Zelim Imadaev (-125)
Imadaev opened the week with -115 odds. Public support has come in on the undefeated Russian, who has won all eight of the struggles by TKO or KO. He’s making his debut inside the octagon against Max Griffin, who has lost four of his last six fights dating back to August, 2016. There’s a little terrible blood here, as Griffin sparred with Imadaev once upon a time and had this to say about his opponent…
„He’s an ass, man. He’s not a fantastic guy… I really don’t like the guy… I am looking forward to showing him what it is like.”
Bantamweight Fight: Boston Salmon (-150) vs. Khalid Taha (+120)
Boston’Boom Boom’ Salmon has only lost once in seven career conflicts (by split-decision). Salmon won his final fight against Ricky Turcios on the debut episode of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series. He will hold a four-inch height advantage of Taha, who has lost two of his last 3 fights. Backing Salmon at his early -135 chances was one of my favourite bets on the card, but he still offers a bit of worth at his present -150 chances.

UFC 236 Early Prelims
Welterweight Fight: Curtis Millender (+115) vs. Belal Muhammad (-145)
Millender fought just last month in UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. dos Santos, ultimately losing by submission (rear-naked choke) into Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos. Muhammad continues to be active, as he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Geoff Neal back in January in UFC Fight Night: Cejudo vs. Dillashaw. Millender boasts four and three inch height and reach advantages, respectively, though Muhammad has been much more of a takedown threat throughout his UFC career.
Bantamweight Fight: Montel Jackson (-550) vs. Andre Soukhamthath (+375)
Jackson started the week as a -500 favored, but has since moved even higher. He’s the biggest favorite on the card. Soukhamthath is 13-6 as a skilled and is being fed to Jackson, who has dropped only once in eight career bouts.
Girls Strawweight Fight: Lauren Mueller (+145) vs. Poliana Botelho (-175)
Both of these girls have high striking rates and do not waste their time getting started. This is very true for Botelho, who notched the third-fastest finish in the history of this UFC women’s division back in May, 2018.
Bantamweight Fight: Brandon Davis (-170) vs. Randy Costa (+140)
Costa is undefeated in four professional fights, while Davis is only 9-5. Both fighters are making a debut of sorts, as Costa will probably be inside the octagon for the first time in his career, while Davis has apparently never fought 135 lbs.
