Max Holloway defeated Dustin Poirier and produced another five-round war that is fitting of the belt that he currently holds. Having stopped ‘Blessed’ at UFC 308 last year, Topuria trolled Holloway on social media by claiming that the BMF belt is still his, posting a photo of his replica title.

Max Holloway clears the air on claims Justin Gaethje hits harder than Ilia Topuria, setting the record straight on both fighters.

Holloway (26-8 MMA, 22-8 UFC) was knocked out for the first time in his career by Topuria (17-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) in their featherweight title fight at UFC 308 last October. Both fighters have since moved up to lightweight, with Topuria capturing the vacant belt with a knockout of Charles Oliveira at UFC 317.

At UFC 318, Max Holloway will look to spoil one of his greatest opponents retirement fight. Dustin Poirier is set for an emotional send-off on July 19 but of course, there’s a good chance that he walks away from the sport on the back of another loss.
