The UFC returned to Atlanta after nearly two years on Saturday with a pay-per-view event from State Farm Arena that saw two new interim champions crowned. In the main event, Dustin Poirier (25-5 MMA, 17-4 UFC) finally realized his fighting dream when he captured the interim lightweight title with a gutsy unanimous decision victory over featherweight champion Max Holloway (20-4 MMA, 16-4 UFC) in a rematch of a February 2012 bout, which “The Diamond” won by submission.
