Buckle up—this July, the heat won’t just be coming from the summer sun. The UFC is set to deliver one of its most stacked fight cards of the year. But amidst the explosive lineup, one bout stands out for fans on a personal level: Dustin Poirier’s “last dance.” After a remarkable 16-year run in MMA, ‘The Diamond’ is preparing for his final walk to the Octagon.
In a fitting tribute, Dana White & Co. are returning to New Orleans, Louisiana, for the first time in a decade—Poirier’s home turf—for his farewell fight. His opponent? None other than the reigning BMF champion, Max Holloway, in a highly anticipated trilogy clash.
While Poirier holds a 2-0 edge over Max Holloway, this third encounter feels different. ‘Blessed’ may be coming off a featherweight title loss to Ilia Topuria, but his last year electrifying knockout win over Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 in the lightweight division proved he still packs a serious punch. Now, Holloway is aiming to replicate that same dominance against Dustin Poirier.
Making his intentions crystal clear, Holloway recently took to Instagram and dropped a message for fans and critics alike: “max win loading.”‘
