Max Holloway is pushing for a radical, and perhaps controversial, change after defending his BMF title at UFC 318. 'Blessed' played spoiler to Dustin Poirier's retirement, finally notching a win against 'The Diamond' to end their score at 2-1 to Poirier.

In the main event this past Saturday night at UFC 318, the BMF title was on the line. Max Holloway (27-8) was looking to become the first man to defend the BMF belt while simultaneously playing the ultimate spoiler by defeating Dustin Poirier (30-10) in his retirement fight.

Holloway defeated Dustin Poirier in a unanimous decision to 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.
