Dustin Poirier will hope to go to a peak, while trying to go 3-0 against Max Holloway in the main event of UFC 318.
The legendary “Diamond” is all time in the UFC, with Dustin Poirier who offers a number of fantastic versions against people like Conor McGregor and Max Holloway in his 16-year career.
That career ends on Saturday against Holloway, whom he has beaten twice in their previous periods, and hopes to win three victories on the bouncing before hanging his gloves forever.
However, Holloway will have something to say about that. He is a much different hunter than their last fight six years ago, and Poirier was just the second opponent of Holloway in the UFC during their first meeting.
He is now one of the great featherweights of all time in UFC history and is a former UFC featherweight champion. Holloway should have enough to beat Poirier in his Swansong, but what do the experts think?

Max Holloway vs Dustin Poirier predictions
Jamie Theodosi: Although Poirier kept the benefits in relation to Holloway in their first two outings, he was never fully prepared for a full -time move to lightweight. But now he is, and he will have prepared himself well. Because this is Poirier's last dance, I just don't see him going for a victory.
Prediction – Max Holloway to win via decision
Donagh Corby: the last two times that Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier quadrates, the physical benefits were in favor of the resident of Louisiana. He was much more experienced for the first time and was much more used to lightweight by the time they were Rematch. Now Poirier is spent and Holloway has a few years left. Also no one ever goes for a victory, so I support Holloway
Prediction – Max Holloway to win
Jordan Ellis: I support Holloway to finally get one on Poirier. Now, a fully -fledged lightweight, it is better than ever placed to get it done. It will be a close, competitive and entertaining battle early. I expect Holloway to take over in the later rounds to make a decision.
Prediction – Max Holloway to win via decision
Ross Markey: with lightweight waters now firmly in his grip, I support Max Holloway to finally break his duck against Dustin Poirier. The Hawaiiaan fights professionally against Justin Gaethje in his most recent outing, looks much more comfortable and nowadays refined at 155 pounds. I choose him to retire Poirier with a defeat.
Prediction – Max Holloway to win
