Max Holloway Retains UFC BMF Title as PPH Bookies Make Out Big
Max Holloway said he wanted to play spoiler and he did it Saturday night in the main event as he went on to defeat Dustin Poirier by unanimous decision and retain the UFC BMF Championship in UFC 318 at the Smoothie King Center.
The win for Holloway is the first in three fights against Poirier, who beat him in 2012 and 2019.
Holloway (28-8) retained his BMF title after landing 98 more strikes (201-109) and landing 53% of his significant strikes.
“I’m pretty happy,” Holloway said. Poirier can still hit hard, he said. “but he kept coming back and back. I came in and I knew I was going to try and be the spoiler and the villain.”
The loss ends a brilliant career for Poirier, who finishes his career with a 30-10 record. Poirier, the UFC Lightweight Interim Champion in 2019, also defeated the likes of Connor McGregor twice in addition to victories over Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler.
“Obviously I wanted to win, but being inside the eye of the storm I thought the fight was a lot closer,” Poirier said. “I thought I had him out in the second round, we couldn’t hear the bell. The fight just felt a lot closer. It is what it is though.
“Going into the fifth round I thought it was close. I feel like I could have maybe put myself in harm’s way more. I could have taken more chances, but I didn’t want to take too many risks. I thought I fought smart. I tried to win.”
