Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier face off for the BMF title at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. Fighting in the lightweight division, these athletes will compete before a fired-up crowd anticipating high-octane action.
Holloway began his pro journey with affiliations to Gracie Technics and Legacy Muay Thai, recording 26 wins with 12 knockouts. But he just suffered a KO loss to Ilia Topuria last October. Poirier fights for American Top Team and achieved 30 wins with 15 KOs but recently lost to Islam Makhachev by submission. Holloway might exploit his featherweight roots to maintain agility against Poirier’s power moves in lightweight clashes.
