Former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier announced that UFC 318 would be his last fight before the bout against ‘BMF’ titleholder Max Holloway was booked. He made that walk out inside Smoothie King Center in New Orleans on Saturday to a standing ovation.
The fight against Holloway was a trilogy bout with Poirier winning the first two. Holloway got one back, defeating “The Diamond” via unanimous decision. Following the fight, Poirier took off his gloves and left them inside the octagon. During his post-fight interview with Daniel Cormier, an emotional Poirier tanked the fans, the fight promotion, his team and family.
