PBP UFC 318 - Holloway vs. Poirier 3 Main Card PBP Discussion: Sat 7/19 at 10pm ET

[Aurelian]

The last 10 seconds kind of looked pre-planned

Max was ready lol

 

[Jman]

I think Max wouldve knocked Dustin out if he didnt try to hug in the last few seconds.

 

[AmericanParadox]

You can’t go out like Justin Gaethje on your last fight, I don’t blame DP at all.

 

[Chubz]

Clinching during the throwdown is not BMF material.

Real talk though. Very disappointing end to what was otherwise an awesome fight.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Must have been sad for any fighter in the past few months who was hoping for a fight of the night bonus in their next fight to get booked for this card and look at the main event and see it's Poirier's retirement fight vs Holloway

 

[Jon's Drug Dealer]

Fun fight. 4-1 or 5-0 Max. Dustin's response to Max's challenge being to try to push him up against the fence is not a great final look, though.

 

[Substance Abuse]

Max's kick boxing was on point.

 

[goOb]

Holloway did a great job. Poirier needed to press him in a more grapple/dirty boxing type of approach. It was crazy to think Poirier could out box him, Holloway has the speed advantage and is an excellent boxer.

 

[contrail]

Max voluntarily banging in the pocket with a still extremely dangerous Poirier is purely admirable.

 

['Rocky']

Poirier didn't want to get knocked out cold in his last fight lmao

He landed the biggest shot in that exchange though. lol

 

[DougieJones]

I seriously don't understand how you guys are getting so pumped over a clearly 'fake' fight

Max had Dustin finished TWICE, BOTH times inexplicably pulled back and tried NOT to finish him, and then they basically coasted from there

 

[ufcfan4]

Dustin wanted none of that smoke in the last 10 seconds.

Smart move honestly. He knew he was getting the worst of that and it wasn’t going to end well.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

Lmfao shut the fuck up

make me bitch. DP bitched out and clinched at the end IMMEDIATELY.

Sorry dude, it is what it is.

Holloway is that dude.

 

[froggyluv]

Max pointed his throw down - Dustin clinched. I disappoint

 

[europe1]

Holloway keed into using footwork to dictate exchanges. As such got a lot more favorable ones than Dustin. Body kicks and staights could't miss.

 

[MrCoffee]

This fight was amazing. Even when Max got two nice ones in, Dustin landed a heavier one back. Great fight.

 

[Dorkman]

48-47 dosen't seem quite right. But all the right direction either way.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

Somewhere Poirierfan is crying. And I'm about to as well.

 

[Tchernobog]

Max 4-1, grown into 155 this time around and had the power while still retaining his quickness to finally get one over DP

 

[KingBarbozaGOAT]

48-47 is a crazy score card
