UFC 318: The last dance for Dustin Poirier

Michael Bolton

MMA will be waving goodbye to one of the most entertaining fighters the sport has seen, as Dustin Poirier makes the walk to the octagon for the final time at UFC 318.

Poirier takes on Max Holloway for the third time, with the BMF belt on the line in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Arguably the best fighter to never win an undisputed title, Poirier has provided the sport with some incredible moments.

Winning the interim belt against Holloway, knocking out Conor McGregor, going to war against Dan Hooker, the lightweight fighter will never be forgotten.

In his three title fights, he was submitted by Khabib Nurmagomedov, Charles Olivera, and Islam Makhachev, and in true Poirier style, left everyone watching entertained.

For someone who has given so much to the UFC, it was only right his final fight was against someone who has also seen it all in Max Holloway.

While Poirier is coming back from his defeat to Makhachev last June, Holloway is hoping to bounce back after he was knocked out for the first time in his career by Ilia Topuria.

Two of the best boxers in the UFC, these men provided one of the best fights of all time at UFC 236, with Poirier the winner via decision.

In fact, Holloway's first ever UFC was against Poirier, with Poirier winning via submission, the only other time Holloway was finsihed.

Expect violence from both men, who will leave it all out there to make it a night to remember for the fans.

Holloway won the BMF belt against Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 with a last second knockout, and a win here could put him back in the title picture.

For Poirier, he will want to leave the sport with a win, in what will likely be one of the fights of the year.
