Dustin Poirier officially called time on his fighting career after dropping a decision loss to Max Holloway in their trilogy bout at UFC 318.

Two fights after Rodriguez and Holland’s wild scrap, Poirier lost to Max Holloway in his retirement fight in the main event. Poirier and Holloway completed their trilogy with an instant classic, before Poirier dropped the gloves in the Octagon and doubled down on his retirement.

Former Max Holloway rival Alexander Volkanovski gave 'Blessed' his flowers following a dominant UFC 318 performance.

Israel Adesanya was feeling ecstatic during the final 10 seconds of the Max Holloway vs. Dustin Poirier fight at UFC 318. He expressed admiration for both fighters, praising their performances.

However, Daniel Cormier was completely stunned by an unusual incident during the first round of the UFC 318 main card opener. Just 35 seconds into the fight, Johnson bundled his opponent to the floor to initiate a scramble. Zellhuber tried to kick him off and inadvertently got his foot stuck in the 39-year-old veteran’s shorts.

Organizers said UFC 318 drew a record-breaking crowd of over 18,000 fans, generating more than $8 million in ticket sales at the Smoothie King Center.
