Holloway vs. Poirier 3: The Fight That Defines a Generation

The History Behind the Rivalry

Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier first clashed at UFC 236 in 2019 in an interim lightweight title fight that many consider one of the greatest battles in UFC history. Poirier won via unanimous decision in a Fight of the Year candidate.

Their second fight at UFC 300 in 2024 saw Holloway even the score with a dominant five-round performance, proving his evolution as a fighter. Now, at UFC 318, the stakes couldn’t be higher—this is for legacy, pride, and possibly a title shot.

Fight Breakdown: Strengths & Weaknesses

Max “Blessed” Holloway (26-7-0)

✅ Unmatched volume striking – Throws 1,000+ strikes in five-round fights
✅ Elite cardio – Gets stronger as the fight progresses
✅ Improved takedown defense – Shut down Poirier’s grappling in their last fight
❌ Can be hurt by power shots – Poirier’s left hand is a major threat

Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier (30-8-0, 1 NC)

✅ Devastating boxing combinations – One of the best boxers in MMA
✅ Superior power in hands – 15 KO/TKO wins in his career
✅ Clutch performer – Thrives in high-pressure fights
❌ Stamina concerns late in fights – Holloway’s pace could be a problem

Prediction: Who Wins the Trilogy?

This fight will likely come down to pace vs. power. If Holloway can keep Poirier at bay with his jab and volume, he could cruise to a decision. But if Poirier lands clean early, he could put Holloway in trouble.

Our Pick: Holloway by unanimous decision in another classic.
