new Orleans — Dustin poirer Could not win in the final battle of his UFC career on Saturday – but finally, it was very little.
A unanimous decision for former wing champion of Pourer for the octagon in UFC 318 inside Smuthi King Center ended in losses Max HoloweBut this was still a suitable end for his 16 -year professional career. In the five-round BMF title battle, it saw several dramatic swings and in two meetings it was finished in two meetings between the Patent Point-Down Exchange of Holowway.
All three judges made light bouts for Holowe: 49–46, 49–46 and 48–47. Soon after the victory, Holowway (27–8) welcomed all BMF Challengers and gave a brief reference to the 155-Pound Champion Ilya topsis Poirier (30–10) before reducing the spotlight.
“It has been honestly heavy,” the Poriyar said about the amount of worship of the fight. “I have been appreciated. I think I have seen. I have never stepped out of the fight and saw it in this way. I never got it to see a third person. This week has been incredible. I think fans, Louisiana and company love. I am a child who is living here, dreamed, yaar, throwing punches.”
The 36 -year -old Poirer, 22, retired in a tie for the fifth highest win in history. He is also tied to the fourth-most knockout with 11.
Poirier’s legacy includes three undisputed titles in 2019, 2021 and 2024. He came less in each, against Khabib nurmagomedov, Charles Olivira And Islam MakhachevHe captured an interim mild title in 2019, however, defeating Holowway through a unanimous decision in an immediate five-round classic.
Saturday’s trilogy against Holowe – Poriyar won the first two meetings – in which the game was expected from a poir fight. Holowway dropped her by right hand in the initial minutes, but the poirer survived and returned to her feet. Holowway dropped her again in the second round, but the poirer was recovered and really dropped Holowway into the frame and shot to a gillotine.
Pource went out for Ashtakona with New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne, in a poetic node – Poirier, which was born and raised in Lafate, went out for Lill Wayne’s track “A Milli” for the start of his UFC in 2011. The UFC re -created its program to book the final battle of Pairer in its home state.
According to the UFC statistics, Hawaii’s Holowway did the total strike in 186–114 to Outland. Pierir cut the hollowway under his left eye in the fourth round, but the amount of Holowway attacks also started taking a toll on it around the same time. His actions became a little slightly slightly, although he still had enough to stand at the center of the octagon and accept the invitation of the Holowway to swing at the end of the fight.
This is a major victory for Holowe, who came to Toppuria with the first knockout defeat of his career in his 145-pound title battle last October.
