Fortunes changed for five at UFC 236

After Israel Adesanya and Kelvin Gastelum had what was one of the greatest fights in UFC history on Saturday night in Atlanta, moments later, when the awe subsided, the immediate reaction was we still have another great fight to come.

Given the number of fights in a year, the odds that two fights on the same show that took place consecutively would finish 1-2 for fight of the year when 2019 is over would normally be something like 500-to-1 or greater odds.

But when the second fight involves Dustin Poirier, those odds dropped dramatically.
