Poirier's (30-9, 1 NC) tied for multiple UFC records, including most Fight of the Night bonuses (10) and most finishes (6) against current, former, or future UFC champions. The former interim champion is 2-2 in his last four fights. The 36-year-old is ready to call it a career after competing since 2009. First, the Lafayette-born fighter known as "The Diamond" looks to shine bright in front of family and friends. Regardless of the result, he knows how he wants to be remembered. "When I look back at the journey, I think I did everything exactly the way it was supposed to be," Poirier told MMA Junkie. "There's things I could've done differently in fights, obviously. Hindsight is 20/20. I could've zigged a lot of times when I should've zagged, or vice versa. That's what it is. ESPN "I just want people to remember me as a hard worker, a kid who chased his dreams, provided for his family, his community, tried to do the right thing, but was just a man. Not perfect, fought his ass off, never said die. That's it. Just a warrior." Holloway (26-8) is a former featherweight champion and one of the most lethal punchers in MMA history. "Blessed" is 3-1 in his last four fights, winning the BMF Title following a dramatic buzzer-beater knockout win against Justin Gaethje at UFC 300. Poirier won the first fight between the two in 2012 via a first-round armbar. The second fight in 2019 saw both men land a combined 359 significant strikes. Poirier won one again, this time via decision. This time around, the Hawaiian is ready to throw down until one man is left standing. "If it's a war he wants, it's a war he's going to get. It's going to be a bunch of knuckleheads in there. I wouldn't want it any other way, especially with the BMF title on the line," Holloway told MMA Junkie.
