UFC, Max Holloway and Overreaction Time
Digest more
The MMA community reacted to Max Holloway spoiling Dustin Poirier's retirement moment to defend the BMF belt at UFC 318.
As much as the UFC 318 crowd was pulling for the retiring Dustin Poirier, Max Holloway is still a certified "BMF."
It's official, Dustin Poirier has retired, and the UFC loses one of its most reliable all-action lightweight stars. Poirier ended his run with the promotion following a decision loss to longtime rival Max Holloway at UFC 318.
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.
