Dustin Poirier wants to return to the old MMA rules for his pension fight.
Last week 'The Diamond' confirmed that his last dance will be against Max Holloway on July 19 at UFC 318.
Dustin Poirier originally threw a four-man One-night tournament for his last hurray.
However, that idea was closed by Dana White, who hopes to talk the resident of Louisiana about the implementation of a few rule changes for his BMF title fight with 'blessed'.

Dustin Poirier wants pride rules for BMF fights
Pride competitions were made famous from three rounds. The first of them lasted 10 minutes, with the next two were only five minutes long. The interruptions between Vechtframes were two minutes long.
Fighters were allowed to use football kicks, stumps and knees on the head of a grounded opponent during matches that were assessed as a whole, in contrast to the Rond-by-Round system that is currently used by most regular MMA competitions.
Poirier wants the UFC Pride rules to implement for his pension competition and all future BMF title fights.
“Bring back the first rounds of 10 minutes. I love it, man,” he told Ariel Helwani.
“If we do it that way, let's go very far back, let's do a first round of 10 minutes and you assess the fight as a whole, not around the round.
'At the end of every fight I would rather say the judge says:' Which guy would you rather walk from the Achthoek? '
“Every time there is a BMF title fight, 10-minute first round, fighting as a whole, allowed football kicks.”
Dustin Poirier Dreams from Lil Wayne Cameo on UFC 318
The idea of ​​Rule Change van Poirier will probably not be punished on time for UFC 318.
However, he has planned a much more realistic dream walk-out for his last MMA fight.
Poirier added: “My first fight in the UFC, when I fought against Josh Grispi, I walked to Lil Wayne.
“If Lil Wayne were to walk me in New Orleans, I walk to Lil Wayne in my last fight.”
Lil Wayne is a large UFC fan, so it seems very likely that he would go down to walk away Poirier.
Only time will learn whether the rapper will make a cameee during the return from the UFC to New Orleans.
