Dustin Poirier, a prominent UFC fighter, is set to retire after his final match against Max Holloway on July 19, in New Orleans. The fight, for the BMF title, holds special significance as it takes place in Louisiana, Poirier's home state. In a heartfelt announcement on "The Pat McAfee Show," he expressed gratitude for being able to conclude his career where it began. Their bout marks the third encounter between the two fighters, with Poirier having won the previous two matchups, emphasizing his longstanding presence in the lightweight division.
Poirier's looming departure from the sport will mark the end of an era for the lightweight division. He has been a consistent presence in 155-pound title contention.
It's going to be my final fight. I'm going to lay the gloves down in Louisiana where it all started for me.
