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

[Fact Checker]

Clinching during the throwdown is not BMF material.

To be fair, Max forfeited the real BMF belt when he didn’t answer Topurias callout to the center of the octagon.


Top is the UFC’s real BMF champ right now.

 

[PlayTheGame]

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

Yep, totally reasonable. Nobody wants to get slept in their retirement fight in front of the home crowd.

 

[Ladder Master]

Max is blessing the mic.

 

[helax]

Max is the fuckin man

 

[gosuasus]

Inb4 Poirier vs. Chad Mendes in BKFC for 30k.

 

[Mammothman]

All class from Max

 

[Dorkman]

At this point he kind of has to do it, Poirier obliged but survival instinct kicked in and he clinched.

I think Dustin's body was getting pretty cooked by that point. When max started ripping down low during that final 10 Dustin immediately started clinching.

 

[ledonk]

Anik will remove his mask and it's... Poiriers wife.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

really thought dustin would have performed better meh

We have to realize fighters have retirement fights for a reason.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

Yep, it was sad to see Poirier wrestle panic for his last fight.

nothing to be ashamed of, i get it, it's sad, but the dude has paid his dues and man. no point in getting KO'd in the last 10 seconds, although, that might have been the best way to go out, in pure honesty.

regardless, that moment proved right there, that max holloway has more balls, and is fucking crazier than anyone else in the UFC. cause not only did he do this to DP, he did it to Gaethje. fucking insane.

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

If they book paddy for illa. Arman would be smart to try and get a Holloway fight.

 

[Killhippies]

Great fight and a solid performance from Poirier even with the loss, glad he's retiring at the right time.

The lineal champion is JDM, which I'm okay with actually lol

 

[Substance Abuse]

Max is a complete psycho for doing it again. absolutely no reason to meet Dustin in the phone booth like that. what a nut.

Nah. He didn't do it to start. He's weak. Suredawggers, though.

 

[surgeyou1]

That BMF belt is still so fucking dumb

If you are going to have a belt like that at least have a different ruleset like no takedowns or something

 

[Da Speeit]

"I feel seeeen" oh brother give me a break

 

[BigGucciSosa]

His mom kinda bad tho

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

i'm buying them. and then i'm going to no-gi grappling and i'm going to white belt motherfuckers

point to the ground and start striking them, they won't expect that

 

[Bradillac]

This BMF belt is so silly when Ilia just knocked Max out lol.

 

[Uniquehorseradish]
