On the Rise: UFC 236 Edition

How do you get everyone fired back up following the first weekend off in since the start of February?

By delivering a pay-per-view headlined by tandem interim title fights that come complete with so much more than just the championship stakes on the line.

This weekend’s return to State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia is capped by compelling title bouts in the middleweight and lightweight divisions that will not only set up future championship bouts, but also further the legacies of the combatants involved.

In the co-main event, Kelvin Gastelum looks to join the exclusive group of Ultimate Fighter winners to claim UFC gold, while Israel Adesanya aims to extend his unmatched rise to the top of the division by securing his sixth victory in 14 months and positioning himself for a showdown with Robert Whittaker later this year.
