Dustin Poirier vs Max Holloway: video of the first battle

On October 4, 2012, two rising stars of the featherweight division clashed at UFC 143 - 23-year-old Dustin Poirier and 20-year-old Max Holloway. Already in the fourth minute of the battle, the more experienced Dustin masterfully conducted a triangle reseption, forcing the Hawaiian to surrender.

Those times have sunk into oblivion, and now Holloway is the undisputed king of 145 pounds with a series of victories of 13 fights, and Poirier confidently sits on the third line of the lightweight division rankings.

On the night of April 14, Holloway and Poirier will compete for an interim lightweight title. The winner will most likely become the next opponent of the champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
