After retaining his UFC BMF Championship against Dustin Poirier in the main event of UFC 318 on Saturday, Max Holloway had some well-wishes for his longtime rival in his retirement.
After losing the first pair of meetings in February 2012 and April 2019, Holloway (27-8 MMA, 23-8 UFC) was determined not to let Poirier (30-10 MMA, 22-9 UFC) sweep their series in his exit from the sport on Saturday at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
Holloway defeated Dustin Poirier in a unanimous decision to retain the UFC BMF Championship in UFC 318 at the Smoothie King Center. The win for Holloway is the first in three fights against Poirier, who beat him in 2012 and 2019.
As far as Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier are concerned, an extra $50,000 should've come their way for their efforts in the UFC 318 main event.
