Max Holloway is looking to avoid a three-peat against Dustin Poirier at UFC 318 this weekend.
UFC 318 goes down this Saturday, from New Orleans, Louisiana, all for the retirement fight of local legend and former UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier.
Poirier’s final fight is a trilogy bout against longtime rival and current BMF titleholder Max Holloway.
Holloway has lost to Poirier twice, once by submission and the other by decision. Poirier spoiled Holloway’s UFC debut as well as his 13-fight win streak in 2019. Now, Holloway has the chance to take Poirier’s retirement fight in front of his home crowd.
