Louisiana native Dustin Poirier will make his final walk to the Octagon Saturday night in front of a home-state crowd, headlining UFC 318 in New Orleans against longtime rival Max Holloway for the BMF title.
The bout, at the Smoothie King Center, marks Poirier’s retirement fight and the third clash in his trilogy with Holloway. Poirier, 36, won both previous matchups - submitting Holloway in 2012 and earning a unanimous decision in 2019.
Poirier, from Lafayette, called the moment 'surreal', cherishing the opportunity for local fans to see him fight in person one last time. In preparation, he adopted a sober lifestyle and a strict carnivore-style diet, entering the bout in peak physical shape.
Despite past success against Holloway, Poirier enters as a slight underdog (+110) according to BetMGM. Holloway, who captured the BMF title by knocking out Justin Gaethje at UFC 300, is determined to spoil Poirier’s farewell, saying, "He did me dirty, so I guess I got to do him dirty in his retirement fight."
The event marks the UFC’s first return to New Orleans since 2015, featuring 14 fights overall. For Poirier, this homecoming bout completes a 13-year rivalry and a storied MMA career.
