Dustin Poirier is entering the UFC octagon for the last time in this weekend’s UFC 318. His final bout will be against Max Holloway, whose UFC debut was against Poirier in 2012. Poirier won that first meeting by submission, and he beat Holloway again in 2019 by decision. Unlike most UFC numbered events, the Holloway vs. Poirier 3 headliner will be for the ceremonial BMF championship, held by Holloway, instead of a belt.
