UFC 318 Post-Fight Show | Reaction To Max Holloway Spoiling Dustin Poirier's Retirement Fight

from MMA Fighting · host MMA Fighting

Dustin Poirier went to battle for the final time in the main event of Saturday night's UFC 318 pay-per-view card in New Orleans, but Max Holloway spoiled the party and became the first fighter to successfully defend the UFC's BMF title. "The Diamond" left it all inside the octagon in his sendoff fight, but his career didn't get the fairy tale ending. Following the wild fight card, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to all things UFC 318, the main event between Poirier and Holloway, discuss the go-to Poirier fight, and where Holloway goes from his impressive performance. Additionally, they talk the rest of the standout moments, the insane battle between Daniel Rodriguez and Kevin Holland, Paulo Costa's lopsided decision win over Roman Kopylov in the co-main event, the incredible preliminary portion of the card, and much more.
