He was just 4-0 as a professional and eager to make his mark. Standing across from him was Dustin Poirier, already 11-1 and looking like a seasoned veteran at 3-0 in the UFC. The fight didn&rsquo;t last long. Poirier submitted Holloway with a mounted triangle armbar in the first round, sending the Hawaiian back to the drawing board.<\/p><p>Fast forward seven years, and these two had completely different stories to tell. They were set to meet again at <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/mma\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>UFC<\/a> 236 in Atlanta, but this time it was for interim lightweight gold. The stakes couldn&rsquo;t be higher, and both men had proven they were nowhere near the fighters they were seven years ago. Dustin Poirier once again proved that the first victory wasn&rsquo;t a fluke as he won the fight via decision. <strong>Now they are set to run it again for the third time at UFC 318, and this will be Poirier&rsquo;s last dance!<\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dustin Poirier vs Max Holloway Preview&nbsp;<\/h2><p>This matchup represents a fascinating clash of styles and career trajectories. Holloway enters the fight as one of the most prolific strikers in UFC history, averaging over 7 significant strikes per minute throughout his career. His volume based approach has overwhelmed countless opponents, and his ability to maintain that pace for five full rounds remains unmatched. The Hawaiian&rsquo;s striking arsenal includes everything from crisp boxing combinations to devastating body shots, all delivered with the kind of cardio that makes other fighters jealous.<\/p><p>Poirier brings a different set of weapons to this encounter. His boxing has always been his strongest suit, but he has developed into a much more complete fighter over the years. &lsquo;The Diamond&rsquo;s&rsquo; knockout power has been on full display at lightweight, where he&rsquo;s finished six of his last nine opponents. His recent performance against Islam Makhachev showed he can still compete at the highest level, lasting nearly 23 minutes before succumbing to a submission. Before that setback, he delivered a brutal knockout of Benoit Saint Denis, proving his finishing ability remains intact.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dustin Poirier vs Max Holloway 3 MMA Betting Odds<\/h2><p>The oddsmakers at <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Fanduel<\/a> have installed <strong>Holloway as a slight favorite at -128<\/strong>. Meanwhile, <strong>Poirier is coming back at +110<\/strong>. These odds suggest the fight is essentially a pick&rsquo;em, with Holloway&rsquo;s slight edge likely coming from his recent activity and overall body of work.&nbsp;<\/p><p>\n\n\n            <div

Max Holloway will likely try to use his volume striking to break Poirier down over five rounds, much like he&rsquo;s done to so many other opponents. His cardio advantage typically becomes more pronounced as fights progress.<\/p><p>Dustin Poirier&rsquo;s best path to victory lies in his power and grappling skills. He needs to make this fight ugly and physical, using his boxing to hurt Holloway early and often. If he can get the fight to the ground, his submission skills could prove decisive.
