NEW ORLEANS \u2013\u00a0Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier made weight for the UFC 318<\/a> main event official on Friday, locking in their trilogy bout for the BMF title and what will be the final career contest for “The Diamond.”<\/p>\n

Former longtime featherweight champion and current BMF titleholder Holloway (26-8 MMA, 22-8 UFC) begins what he says is a permanent move to the lightweight division for the showdown with Poirier (30-9 MMA, 22-8 UFC), who is set to retire from active competition in his home state in the headliner of Saturday’s card at Smoothie King Center (ESPN+<\/a> pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+).<\/p>\n

It was a drama-free trip to the scale for both men at Friday’s official UFC 318 weigh-in at the host hotel. Poirier was the first fighter to come to the scale and registered at 156 pounds after his last weight cut.<\/p>\n

Poirier will attempt to end his career on a high and make it 3-0 over Holloway, who he defeated by first-round submission at UFC 143 in February 2012 then edged on the scorecards in the rematch at UFC 236 in April 2019.<\/p>\n
