Max Holloway vs. Dustin Poirier official
Digest more
The promotion has released the UFC 318 cold open video, and it pays tribute to the rivalry between the two longtime UFC standouts, who have fought two times previously. Poirier beat Holloway in Holloway's promotional debut in 2012, then beat him for the interim lightweight belt in 2019.
Dustin Poirier will receive a hero's welcome in his native Louisiana at UFC 318 when he battles Max Holloway for a third time in their careers. It's a respect Poirier earned from his peers and the promotion that they would take a PPV event to New Orleans for the first time in 25 years as a proper send off to one of the good guys in the sport's history.
