Former UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier commented on the upcoming fight against former titleholder from a lower division Max Holloway.

The fight, which will take place on July 20 at UFC 318 in New Orleans, USA, will be a farewell for "The Diamond".

"I really want to enjoy the moment, to be in the moment. This will be my last opportunity to experience all these emotions: the jitters before the fight, walking to the octagon. This will not happen again in the future. So I want to put on a real show, to leave beautifully. Let this be the fight of the year. And I’m ready for the fact that I might need stitches," ESPN quotes Dustin Poirier.
